Bellissimo Distribution LLC

Bellissimo Distribution LLC, doing business as Greco And Sons Of Colorado, supplies fresh produce to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurement without set-aside designation. A subsidiary of Sysco Corporation, the nation's largest broadline foodservice distributor, Bellissimo operates from headquarters in Bartlett, Illinois and serves the Bureau of Prisons and Defense Logistics Agency through recurring purchase orders for weekly and monthly produce deliveries.

Bellissimo's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in institutional food service for correctional facilities. The top four customer agencies by award count account for 75% of the 1,164 total prime awards over the source period. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Florence dominates the potential-value ranking with 213 awards worth $2.2 million combined, closely matched by the Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City with 284 awards and $2.2 million combined potential value. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate places 211 orders worth $1.4 million combined, and the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood accounts for 167 awards with $549 thousand combined potential value. Across the entire footprint, combined potential value stands at $6.8 million against $8.3 million in obligated dollars — indicating invoice-cycle recurrence and established vendor positioning. The vendor competes entirely in full-and-open procurement; no awards carry set-aside designations.

Bellissimo's capability portfolio centers narrowly on perishable produce supply. Representative awards include a $50,000 firm-fixed-price purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Florence in December 2025 for monthly fresh produce delivery; a $38,010 order from the same facility in July 2025 for cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad mix, cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, jalapenos, baking potatoes, honeydew, onions, oranges, kiwi, pears, cilantro, apples, bananas, and green peppers; and a $27,996 order from Florence in April 2026 for identical produce categories. These orders reflect the standard recurring monthly and quarterly delivery cadence. Category concentration is pronounced: 1,097 of the 1,164 awards fall under PSC Fruits and Vegetables, with the remainder split among Food, Oils and Fats (54 awards), Condiments (5), Meat, Poultry and Fish (3), and Dairy (2). Top NAICS codes reflect the distribution channel — Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (470 awards), Fruit and Vegetable Retailers (378), and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (266).

Activity has shifted sharply in recent years. The vendor recorded only 1 award in 2021 and 4 in 2019, but climbed to 25 awards in 2024 and 13 in 2025, indicating accelerating federal footprint growth within correctional and subsistence procurement. The vendor places task orders under three primary vehicles: Blanket Purchase Agreement DJBFLPBPA0013 (252 task orders, $17 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM30008ADB87 (117 task orders, $724 thousand), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM30006ADB87 (84 task orders, $472 thousand). The vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint — all 1,164 awards are primes. As a Sysco subsidiary, Bellissimo inherits the parent company's substantial federal contracting presence, including Sysco's reported $804.7 million indefinite delivery contract with Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate for broadline foodservice supply to military and federal installations.
