Admirals Experience Inc.

Admirals Experience Inc., doing business as Admirals Experience, is a San Diego-based service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) that operates as a prime contractor providing food service and meal preparation operations to federal agencies, with 110 awards totaling $257.4 million in combined potential value and no subcontractor engagement across its portfolio. The vendor is minority-owned, Black American-owned, and self-certified as a small disadvantaged business; it competes across a mix of set-aside categories (Total Small Business, SDVOSB set-asides) and unrestricted full-and-open awards, with set-asides representing the preponderance of its prime work.

Admirals Experience's capability portfolio centers on food service operations and meal preparation for federal facilities. Representative work includes a $7 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for comprehensive food service at the Detroit Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program Center through November 2027; a $3.2 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with VA VISN 22 for cafeteria and food preparation services at VA facilities in San Diego through November 2026; a $5.4 million purchase order with VA VISN 20 for full food services at the Anchorage VA Domiciliary through September 2028; and recurring blanket purchase agreement calls under the Department of Homeland Security's Southwest Border Detainee Meals BPA to supply meals at U.S. Border Patrol processing facilities and detention centers along the southwest border.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection dominates by potential value, anchoring 20 awards worth $211.6 million (82% of combined potential value), all drawn from the Southwest Border Detainee Meals BPA vehicle. The Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 35 awards across four distinct VISNs valued at $36.7 million combined. By award count, the top five customers (DHS CBP, Department of the Army Vermont National Guard, VA VISN 22, VA VISN 10, and Department of the Army Oregon National Guard) represent 65% of all awards. The two rankings diverge sharply: CBP places far fewer orders (20 awards) relative to its dollar share, while Army National Guard entities across Vermont and Oregon place many small orders (combined 29 awards, $4.5 million).

Admirals Experience holds two single-award IDCs with the VA (Detroit Domiciliary and San Diego cafeteria services) and places recurring task orders against the Southwest Border Detainee Meals BPA managed by DHS CBP. The BPA represents 18 task orders with $3.4 million combined potential value. Nearly all vehicle activity flows through these three mechanisms; no involvement in government-wide acquisition contracts or multiple-award vehicles is present in the award portfolio.

Award activity has declined substantially. The vendor received nine awards in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, five in 2025, and one in the first half of 2026. Only three awards with combined potential value of $2.2 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term; the two largest VA IDCs (Detroit and San Diego) extend through 2027 and 2026 respectively.

Service Contract Inventory reporting captures $3.7 million in invoiced revenue during FY2023 across 20 FTEs on five prime records; no SCI-reportable invoicing appears in FY2022 or FY2024 in the source data. This represents a strict subset of federal services activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold and excludes the vendor's extensive goods and purchase-order-based food procurement work. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts range from a 10th percentile of $53.56 per hour to a median of $102.78 per hour to a 90th percentile of $151.05 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 0% of hours, reflecting Admirals Experience's model of direct delivery with no subcontractor engagement.
