Ar Corporation

Ar Corporation, a minority-owned, woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Washington, D.C., operates federal food service contracts as a prime contractor, with all five awards in its current portfolio serving civilian agencies on a full-and-open basis without set-aside designation. The company provides food service operations and technical assistance coordination to federal headquarters facilities.

Ar Corporation's customer base is highly concentrated. The Department of Agriculture's Office of Operations accounts for four of five awards and $667 thousand of the $787 thousand combined potential value across all awards (85% coverage). The single remaining award is a $120 thousand labor-hour technical assistance program coordinator contract with the Department of Justice's Justice Management Division, awarded June 1, 2026, with ultimate completion set for July 13, 2031.

The vendor's operational footprint centers on food service at USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Ar Corporation holds or held multiple purchase order contracts to cover operating costs for a Dunkin' Donuts franchise located in the USDA Whitten Building: a $115,596.24 award issued June 21, 2022 (completed December 20, 2022); a $203,699.36 award issued November 28, 2022 (completed November 30, 2023); a $282,473.60 award issued December 1, 2023 (completed November 30, 2024); and a $65,618.40 award issued March 11, 2025 (running through March 10, 2030). The USDA Office of Operations has sustained this relationship across multiple contract cycles without break, indicating continuity in the agency's food service procurement strategy for headquarters facilities.

Activity is episodic rather than growth-driven. The vendor received two awards in 2022, one in 2023, one in 2025, and one in 2026, with gaps in 2024 and 2027 not yet reflected in year-to-date data. Combined dollars obligated stand at $691 thousand (88% of combined potential value), indicating strong execution. Ar Corporation holds no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs and operates no subcontractor relationships. The category concentration shows four of five awards fall under NAICS 722513 (Full-Service Restaurants) or PSC B605 (Operation Of Food Or Grain Storage Buildings), with the DOJ award as an outlier under food service contracting and housekeeping support.
