C.j. Foods, Inc.

C.J. Foods, Inc. CJ Foods, Inc. Division, a woman-owned small disadvantaged business (WOSB) headquartered in Estero, Florida with operations in Waverly, Minnesota, supplies subsistence food products exclusively to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under recurring quarterly purchase orders. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation with self-certified small disadvantaged business status, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides across its 2,640 federal awards spanning two decades of sustained performance.

The company's capability portfolio centers entirely on federal correctional facility food service: quarterly procurement and delivery of dry goods, fresh and frozen meats (beef, chicken, turkey, pork, fish), produce, dairy products, baked goods, condiments, and specialized religious dietary items certified as kosher and halal. Work is performed under firm fixed-price purchase orders, with all items delivered FOB destination to individual Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide. Recent representative contracts include a $137.9 million obligation to Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City for first-quarter FY 2026 subsistence (October–December 2025), a $56.8 million order to Federal Correctional Complex Coleman for second-quarter FY 2026 National Menu items, and a $69.7 million order to Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield for third-quarter FY 2026 meat and kosher requirements. The source data documents over 200 awards since 2003, with the company established as the Bureau of Prisons' recurring small business supplier across 97 distinct correctional facilities nationwide.

Customer concentration is acute and intentional: the top five facilities (Pollock, Yazoo City, Jesup, Three Rivers, and Lee County) account for approximately 10 percent of award count but span six distinct Bureau of Prisons regional locations. Pollock (75 awards, $1.1 million combined value) and Coleman (37 awards, $1.1 million combined value) dominate dollar concentration; Yazoo City ranks second by count (64 awards) and third by dollars ($913 thousand). All customer agencies are subordinate facilities or regional offices within the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons—a single customer concentration that defines the vendor's entire commercial footprint.

Awards are structured as quarterly purchase orders with no parent contract vehicles or multiple award schedules; the source identifies a single IDC (Indefinite Delivery Contract DJB61903006) with $18 thousand combined value, suggesting minimal use of larger vehicles. C.J. Foods competes and wins awards exclusively through competitive or set-aside solicitations issued by individual correctional facilities, each seeking quarterly food supplies under NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) or related food manufacturing codes. PSC concentration reflects the subsistence mandate: Food, Oils and Fats accounts for 1,257 awards; Meat, Poultry, and Fish for 846 awards.

Activity has grown modestly over the past five years—53 awards in 2022, 56 in 2023, 70 in 2024, and 80 in 2025—with 38 awards recorded to date in 2026. Combined potential value stands at $26.8 million; obligated dollars total $26.6 million (99 percent of potential), reflecting the completion-driven nature of quarterly food orders. Only two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $43 thousand, indicating minimal recompete cliff exposure in the immediate window.

The vendor subcontracts zero work; all 2,640 awards are prime contracts performed directly. No teaming relationships, subcontractor dependencies, or indirect federal engagement appears in the source. C.J. Foods operates as a wholly owned, self-reliant food supplier executing its sole federal strategy: exclusive reliance on the Bureau of Prisons quarterly food procurement cycle under small business set-asides. The company's strategic positioning hinges entirely on continuous award renewal from the same 97 facilities and the sustainability of the Bureau's dedicated food service budget allocation.
