AMS Consultant

AMS Consultant B & P Food Services Division, doing business as Bandp Foodservices, supplies religiously-compliant and specialized food products—primarily certified kosher and halal items in individual serving packets—to federal correctional institutions as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The Calabasas, California-based Subchapter S Corporation is a minority-owned and woman-owned small business self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, competing exclusively under small business set-asides rather than full-and-open competitions.

Bandp Foodservices delivers concrete food service commodities: certified kosher instant milk packets, kosher tuna, cereals, coffee, drink powders, sugar substitutes, and prepared meals meeting Orthodox Jewish and halal certification standards. Representative contracts include a $110,905.92 delivery order from Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont for 700,000 individual 8-ounce servings of kosher milk substitute in May 2026, a $207,221.60 award from Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont for certified kosher and halal items in October 2023, and a $165,736 purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Pollock for specialized dietary food items in November 2025. All work operates under NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and PSC 8945 (Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations), with firm fixed-price terms, FOB destination delivery, and emphasis on past performance and pricing in evaluation.

Customer concentration is extreme and tightly clustered within the Bureau of Prisons. The top five facilities—Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont, Federal Correctional Complex Coleman, Federal Correctional Complex Pollock, Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City, and United States Penitentiary Hazleton—account for 67 percent of combined potential value across all 275 awards. Beaumont alone represents 30 awards worth $1.5 million; Coleman accounts for 27 awards worth $1.3 million; Pollock represents 19 awards worth $1.2 million. The vendor serves 59 distinct Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide but derives its revenue footprint from recurring quarterly procurements at a small set of high-volume institutions. No parent vehicles, GWACs, or IDIQs appear in the source; the vendor operates on individual purchase orders issued directly by correctional facilities.

Activity volume has contracted sharply. The vendor won 45 awards in 2022 and 54 in 2023, declined to 32 in 2024, dropped to 30 in 2025, and shows only 16 awards in 2026 year-to-date through July 31. Combined potential value across all awards sits at $7 million, with $6.8 million obligated (98 percent realization rate), indicating tight cash-to-invoice alignment. Only three awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $25 thousand—a minimal recompete cliff reflecting the vendor's historical award velocity rather than forward pipeline pressure.

The award footprint contains no subcontract activity; all 275 awards are prime contracts. Bandp Foodservices does not appear as a sub to other federal contractors. The vendor operates a pure direct-to-agency model, with all food delivered to Bureau of Prisons distribution points or facility warehouses across Hidden Hills, California (its administrative location) or directly to regional correctional complex food service warehouses.

Since registering in SAM.gov in July 2017, Bandp Foodservices has established itself as a specialized supplier of religiously-compliant food to the federal prison system. Award descriptions consistently note the vendor's "demonstrated history of over 200 purchase orders" and describe it as a "key supplier to the Bureau of Prisons," language that reflects the agency's reliance on consistent, small-scale quarterly reprocurement rather than large contract values. The vendor competes on total small business set-asides exclusively—not a single award in the source carries a full-and-open or non-set-aside designation (two exceptions, both no-set-aside used, total under $500), underscoring near-total dependence on the WOSB and SDVOSB-eligible set-aside posture to win work.
