Coca-Cola Bottling Company High Country

Coca-Cola Bottling Company High Country, a family-owned, for-profit Subchapter S Corporation headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, supplies Coca-Cola branded beverages—soft drinks, sports drinks, iced tea, water, and related products in multiple packaging formats—to the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes exclusively full-and-open (no set-asides) and holds no SBA designations. Coca-Cola Bottling Company High Country has been registered with SAM.gov since September 2001 and manufactures and distributes beverages from regional operations serving military installations and government facilities across the Mountain West.

The vendor's federal footprint centers on military subsistence procurement through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence program, which accounts for 2,430 of the company's 2,496 total prime awards (97% by count) and $8.1 million in combined potential value. The remaining volume disperses across the Defense Commissary Agency (40 awards, $51.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force (4 awards, $888 thousand combined potential value), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service regional offices. The distribution is skewed: DLA Troop Support issues hundreds of small task orders (individual delivery orders typically range from several hundred to approximately $2,000), while the Defense Commissary Agency anchors most of the dollar value through a smaller number of awards. A single $350,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Force Global Strike Command for bottled water (awarded April 13, 2026) extends through April 2031.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company High Country sits on five named parent vehicles, all single-award agreements under DLA Troop Support Subsistence management: Blanket Purchase Agreement SPE30020A9326 (681 task orders, $501 thousand combined potential value), Blanket Purchase Agreement SPE30021A9333 (480 task orders, $248 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30015D9338 (425 task orders, $167 thousand combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30016D9343 (368 task orders, $133 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreement SPE30021A9332 (260 task orders, $153 thousand combined potential value). The vendor's award category concentration reflects its narrow capability: 2,387 awards are coded to Commercial Bakeries (a legacy NAICS misclassification), 41 to Soft Drink Manufacturing, and 10 to Bottled Water Manufacturing; 2,200 awards carry PSC Beverages, Nonalcoholic.

Activity has declined year over year: 322 awards in 2022, 286 in 2023, 232 in 2024, 240 in 2025, and 73 in the partial 2026 year-to-date. The company has received one sub-award (a sub task on water deliveries to Ellsworth Air Force Base under prime EA Engineering, Science, And Technology, Inc., PBC, awarded December 6, 2023), representing minimal subcontract exposure. Combined potential value across all 2,496 awards totals $85.8 million, but only $3.6 million (4%) has been obligated, indicating that the majority of the ceiling value on DLA BPAs and IDCs remains undrawn. The vendor operates as a pure prime contractor with no identified subcontractors across its federal footprint.
