About the company
Chef Minute Meals, Inc., headquartered in Piney Flats, Tennessee, manufactures shelf-stable tortillas and ready-to-eat meals for military logistics, federal emergency preparedness, and disaster relief operations as a small-business-set-aside prime contractor. The for-profit corporation holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence valued at $18.144 million through July 2027 and operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards), with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward DoD logistics and FEMA emergency response. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence anchors the portfolio with 46 awards valued at $47.7 million in combined potential value, reflecting consistent, recurring delivery orders for shelf-stable tortillas supporting military rations and contingency stockpiles. The Federal Emergency Management Agency holds the second-largest position by potential value: two awards worth $71 million combined (including a $1.8 million delivery order issued September 2021 under FEMA's 2017–2022 Self-Heating Meals IDIQ for 486,690 reduced sodium meals in Hurricane Ida recovery) alongside ten awards through the FEMA Incident Support Section valued at $16.6 million. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration and Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration each account for single small awards, totaling $88 thousand combined. Together, the top three customers represent 100% of awards in the source data.
Chef Minute Meals operates through multiple parent vehicles. The DLA Troop Support single-award IDC (ceiling $18.144 million, total small business set-aside, running through July 27, 2027) anchors the largest footprint, with nine delivery orders ranging from $120,064 to $1.38 million issued since award in July 2022. The most recent delivery order, March 18, 2026, carries a $1.38 million ceiling for shelf-stable tortillas under total small business set-aside with completion scheduled June 15, 2026. Chef Minute Meals also holds positions on three additional DLA vehicles (Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3S122DZ252 with nine task orders, $4.7 million; Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE3S120D5001 with ten task orders, $1.3 million; and Basic Ordering Agreement SPE3S116GZ014 with nine task orders, $1.2 million) and participates in FEMA's Self-Heating Meals 2017–2022 vehicle, which carries eight task orders valued at $12.5 million combined.
Activity has declined materially year over year — four awards in 2022 to one in 2026 — suggesting either a shift in ordering patterns toward the DLA single-award IDIQ (which concentrates procurement through one vehicle rather than multiple BOAs) or reduced federal demand for shelf-stable subsistence items. Sixty awards across the source period carry a combined potential value of $135.4 million, with $27.5 million obligated (20% realization). The vendor's capability portfolio remains narrowly focused: 21 awards cluster under tortilla manufacturing, 20 under general line grocery merchant wholesaling, and 12 under perishable prepared food manufacturing (NAICS), with 31 awards categorized as composite food packages and 21 as bakery and cereal products (PSC). No diversification into non-subsistence product lines or civilian agencies outside DHS/FEMA appears in the recent award history.
