Big Daddy Foods, Inc.

Big Daddy Foods, Inc., doing business as Big Daddy Foods Inc., is a small business food distributor and prime contractor supplying fresh and frozen meats, dairy products, prepared meals, and subsistence items exclusively to the Federal Bureau of Prisons across 88 distinct facility locations nationwide, competing predominantly under total small business set-aside purchase orders. The Katy, Texas-based subchapter S corporation has secured 728 federal awards since 2014, with $15.2 million in combined potential value and $14.6 million obligated—a 96-percent realization rate reflecting the vendor's established role as a consistent supplier to the BOP's National Menu program.

Big Daddy Foods operates as a 100-percent prime contractor with no subcontract footprint; the entire portfolio consists of firm fixed-price purchase orders, nearly all designated as total small business set-asides under NAICS codes spanning all-other miscellaneous food manufacturing, perishable prepared foods, and poultry and meat processing. Representative awards include a $94.5 thousand order from Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg (April 2026) for third-quarter meats, dairy, bread, and religious-diet meals; a $79.4 thousand contract from Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (April 2026) for fresh and frozen proteins with weekly delivery; a $74.9 thousand subsistence award from Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale (October 2025) for comprehensive food items; and a $141.2 million contract from United States Penitentiary Hazleton (July 2024) for quarterly meat products. The top five individual BOP facility customers—Federal Correctional Complex Coleman, Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo, Federal Correctional Complex Pollock, Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, and Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City—account for 26 percent of combined potential value, with Coleman leading at $942 thousand across 26 awards and Guaynabo delivering $912 thousand on 22 awards. Pollock ranks first by award count at 27 purchase orders.

Activity has grown moderately year over year—78 awards in 2022 to 112 in 2024, then 102 in 2025—with only five awards (combined potential value $90 thousand) reaching completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's product portfolio is highly granular: 376 awards fall under all-other miscellaneous food manufacturing, 144 under perishable prepared foods, and 60 under poultry processing, with PSC concentration in meat, poultry, and fish (430 awards) and food, oils, and fats (240 awards). Individual quarterly purchase order values typically range from $3,000 to $130,000, reflecting the episodic nature of facility-by-facility subsistence procurement and seasonal inmate population fluctuations. Big Daddy Foods maintains direct responsibility for procurement, quality assurance, temperature-controlled logistics, and compliance with USDA, FDA, and Food Safety Inspection Service regulations—a capability demonstrated across multiple states, Puerto Rico, and geographically dispersed facility types including penitentiaries, correctional institutions, medical centers, and detention centers. The vendor's entire federal footprint is concentrated with the BOP; no work with other agencies, GWACs, or multi-agency vehicles appears in the award record.
