Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc., a for-profit corporate entity based in Gulfport, Mississippi, supplies carbonated beverages, juices, and sports drinks to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates under the Coast Coca Cola Bottling Co division and competes full-and-open across two federal customers with a concentration of 96% of awards in the Defense Commissary Agency.

The vendor's customer footprint is tightly concentrated on two DoD subsistence agencies accounting for 96% of recent awards. The Defense Commissary Agency anchors the portfolio with 78 awards totaling $156.3 million in combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 32 awards totaling $281 thousand. The two customer rankings align; DECA's dominance spans both award count and dollar magnitude. Recent delivery orders from Defense Logistics Agency include routine replenishment tasks: a $2,616 order for Classic Coke (12-can packs, 2 packs per box) on April 6, 2026; a $1,967.34 orange juice order on January 30, 2026; and a $2,834 Classic Coke order on March 4, 2026. All delivery orders specify Gulfport, Mississippi as the place of performance and carry firm fixed-price structures with completion windows of two to four weeks.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company United operates on five primary indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest are HDEC0107G6730 (23 task orders, $81.4 million combined potential value) and HDEC0107G6720 (23 task orders, $63.3 million combined potential value), both supporting Defense Commissary operations. A single-award IDC awarded by Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence on November 2, 2025, carries a $250 thousand ceiling through October 28, 2028, with an estimated annual requirement of 4,300 units across 20 line items of beverages covering Barksdale Air Force Base, Fort Johnson, Camp Beauregard, and Army Corps of Engineers facilities in the New Orleans District. Two additional vehicles—DECA0292A5243 and DECA0292A9702—contribute 14 and 13 task orders respectively at lower dollar values ($745 thousand and $658 thousand combined potential). Coca-Cola Bottling Company United remains the sole contractor across all identified parent vehicles; no subcontracting activity appears in the source.

Award velocity has accelerated: eight to nine orders annually from 2010–2011 contracted to nine awards in 2025 and twenty-three in 2026 through mid-April. The vendor's capability portfolio aligns precisely with its NAICS concentration—99 of 114 awards fall under Soft Drink Manufacturing—with secondary food resale exposure (15 awards in Cattle Feedlots, 39 in Food Items For Resale, 16 in Fruits And Vegetables). Combined potential value of $168.5 million contrasts sharply with combined dollars obligated of $3.3 million (2% of potential), indicating that most awarded ceiling values have not yet converted to invoiced work. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); no sub-award activity is documented.
