About Ballester Hermanos, LLC
Ballester Hermanos Inc. is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned for-profit small business incorporated in Puerto Rico and registered with the System for Award Management since May 30, 2003. Based in Cataño, Puerto Rico, the company specializes in providing subsistence products and food items to federal facilities, with a particular focus on serving correctional institutions operated by the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons. The company has demonstrated consistent capability and reliability in supplying groceries, bread, and other food products to government entities over more than two decades of federal contracting experience.
Ballester Hermanos Inc. has received numerous firm-fixed-price purchase orders exclusively from two federal agencies: the Bureau of Prisons (Department of Justice) and the Department of the Army. The overwhelming majority of the company's federal contract work consists of quarterly subsistence procurement for the Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with contract values ranging from approximately $800 to $144,663.49 per award. These contracts typically cover specific fiscal quarters and call for the delivery of food items, groceries, and bread products to support detention center operations. The company received one notable contract from the Department of the Army in May 2023 for $77,680 to provide groceries for the 190th Engineer Battalion's annual training. The vast majority of Ballester Hermanos' awards have been designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting minority-owned enterprises in federal procurement. Recent awards in late 2024 and 2025 include two first-quarter fiscal year 2026 purchase orders totaling approximately $76,651.44 for continued subsistence provision to the Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo. Throughout its contracting history, Ballester Hermanos Inc. has operated as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors, performing all work directly for federal agencies.
