Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc. (operating as United Coca Cola Bottling Inc Coast Coca Cola Bottling Co Division) is a for-profit beverage supplier based in Gulfport, Mississippi that sells carbonated soft drinks, juices, and sports drinks to the Department of Defense subsistence supply chain as a prime contractor under full-and-open delivery orders with no set-aside designations. The vendor holds 135 prime federal awards, all delivered from its single Gulfport location, and operates exclusively as a prime — it does not subcontract work.

The vendor's customer base is concentrated in two agencies. The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) accounts for 78 awards with $156.3 million in combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 53 awards with $305 thousand in combined potential value. Together these two customers represent 97% of recent awards and 93% of combined potential value. The concentration reflects a narrow but stable operational footprint: Coca-Cola Bottling supplies standardized beverage products — Classic Coke (12-can packs, 2 packs per box), apple juice, orange juice, fruit-punch sports drinks, and lemon-option drinks — to military installations and subsistence supply chains, primarily supporting Barksdale Air Force Base, Fort Johnson, Camp Beauregard, and Army Corps of Engineers facilities in the New Orleans District.

The vendor's federal work flows through five parent indefinite delivery contracts. The Defense Commissary Agency issued two major IDCs — HDEC0107G6720 (23 task orders, $63.3 million combined potential value) and HDEC0107G6730 (23 task orders, $81.4 million combined potential value) — which together represent the bulk of the dollar potential. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence awarded a single-award IDC (SPE30026D5000) in November 2025 with a $250 thousand ceiling and a performance period running through October 2028; this vehicle carries 52 task orders to date with $55 thousand in combined potential value. Two additional DeCA IDCs (DECA0292A5243 and DECA0292A9702) carry 27 combined task orders worth approximately $1.4 million. Individual delivery orders are uniformly small (ranging from $114 to $2,834) and firm fixed-price, reflecting routine replenishment ordering patterns typical of military subsistence procurement.

Activity has accelerated sharply in recent years. The vendor received eight to nine awards annually from 2010 through 2012, then resumed higher velocity in 2025 with nine awards, followed by 44 awards in the first seven months of 2026. The combined potential value across all 135 awards is $168.5 million, though only $3.3 million (2%) has been obligated to date, a reflection of the long-duration IDC ceiling structure and the small individual task-order values. The category concentration is heavily skewed: 120 of 135 awards fall under the Soft Drink Manufacturing NAICS code, with a secondary grouping of 15 Cattle Feedlots awards. By PSC code, Beverages Nonalcoholic dominates at 63 awards, followed by Food Items For Resale (39 awards) and Fruits and Vegetables (27 awards). The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open subsistence procurements and holds no visible parent vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; its market access flows entirely through Defense Commissary Agency and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support standing delivery agreements.
