Birmingham Restaurant Supply, Inc.

Birmingham Restaurant Supply, Inc., doing business as Bresco, supplies commercial kitchen equipment and food service furnishings to the federal government as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards), competing predominantly under total small business set-asides on purchase orders and delivery orders. Bresco is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other formal certifications beyond small-business status; the company has held a Federal Supply Schedule contract with GSA's Federal Acquisition Service since March 2025 (ceiling $475,000, running through March 2030) and operates across NAICS categories centered on Food Product Machinery Manufacturing and Commercial and Institutional Building Construction.

Bresco's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on equipment supply. Recent prime work consists almost entirely of purchase orders and delivery orders for dining facility equipment, convection ovens, steam kettles, griddles, braising pans, tilting skillets, refrigeration units, and serving counters—equipment designated via Unison Buy packages and issued by Army Sustainment Command, Army Medical Command, and subordinate regional purchasing offices. Representative examples include a $201,928.32 total small business set-aside purchase order (September 2022) from Army Sustainment Command for food service braising pans, a $173,552.75 total small business set-aside purchase order (April 2023) from Army Sustainment Command for Cleveland steam kettles, a $173,423.16 total small business set-aside purchase order (June 2023) from Army Sustainment Command for a cold food serving counter, and a $26,990.66 delivery order (September 2025) from the Virginia National Guard for six refrigerators and two ice makers under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. All PSC coding clusters around Kitchen Equipment and Appliances (29 awards), Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment (12 awards), and related utensil and flatware categories.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command, which accounts for 15 of the top customers' 32 awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) and dominates both volume and dollars. The top five customer organizations by combined potential value account for 71% of all awards and include Army Sustainment Command ($1.2 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($475,000), Army Medical Command ($427,000), Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Jackson ($97,000), and Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Maxwell ($60,000). The ranking by award count and potential value track closely—Army Sustainment Command leads both—indicating consistent order volume and price points rather than a few large outliers.

Bresco holds three task orders under the Multiple Award Schedule (combined potential value $51,000) and three task orders under Federal Supply Schedule GS07F5714R (combined potential value $20,000). In its subcontractor role, Bresco supplies kitchen and food service equipment to BL Harbert International LLC on five construction-related sub-awards dating from April 2023 through January 2026, including work on the ARC Design-Build project, Bangkok NOX construction, Community Commons construction, Marina and Outdoor Recreation Facility, and Guest Laundry Equipment (FFE) additions—all within defense facilities infrastructure.

Activity has declined year over year—ten awards in 2023 to four in 2025 and two in the first half of 2026. No awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months from the measurement date (October 2026); the most recent awards carry completion dates in June 2026 and October 2025. The Service Contract Inventory dataset shows minimal SCI-reportable service-contract activity: only 0.3 FTEs across two named-subcontractor records in FY2024, indicating Bresco's business is predominantly goods supply (equipment) rather than labor services, which aligns with the award portfolio's equipment-heavy PSC and NAICS profile.
