Coca-Cola Bottling Company Of Southeastern New England, Inc.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company Of Southeastern New England, Inc., doing business as The Coca-Cola Bottling Co Of Northern New-Eng, is a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of goods and a subsidiary of Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd. that supplies carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, and other beverage products to the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively — 733 awards across the past four decades with no subcontract footprint. The vendor operates from Waterford, Connecticut and competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations.

Coca-Cola Bottling's federal business is highly concentrated in military subsistence supply. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division accounts for 686 awards (94% of volume) with a combined potential value of $16.5 million, while the Defense Commissary Agency anchors the dollar base at 38 awards worth $94 million in combined potential value. The two rankings diverge sharply — DLA Subsistence places numerous small task orders (median values in the hundreds of dollars) against standing BPAs and indefinite delivery contracts, whereas DeCA holds fewer but substantially larger contract vehicles. A single award each to the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Army round out the customer set, accounting for the remaining 1% of awards.

Coca-Cola Bottling's product portfolio centers on Coca-Cola branded beverages and water. Representative DLA Subsistence awards include a $1,778 BPA call for Vanilla Coke 12-ounce cans (issued January 2, 2026), a $1,905 call for the same product (August 9, 2025), and a $5,595.84 delivery order for SmartWater drinking water (July 14, 2025). The vendor holds a $4.9 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Subsistence running through April 2027, established April 18, 2022, and a $250,000 blanket purchase agreement running through July 2026, established July 23, 2021. These two vehicles anchor most recent work: the IDC carries 262 task orders ($73 thousand combined potential value), the BPA carries 95 task orders ($35 thousand combined potential value), and a second IDC (SPE30019D9302) carries 195 task orders ($237 thousand combined potential value). The vendor also places task orders against three additional IDCs and miscellaneous BPAs managed by DLA.

Activity has remained steady at 17 to 32 awards per year over the past five years, with three awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor's broader federal footprint encompasses 29 awards in the Soft Drink Manufacturing NAICS and 522 awards in the Beverages, Nonalcoholic PSC code, alongside scattered awards for special dietary foods, fruits and vegetables, and coffee and tea — a pattern suggesting the vendor has supplied a wider range of food and beverage products through DLA and DeCA historically, though recent activity focuses on carbonated soft drinks and water. Combined obligated dollars total $3.9 million against $120.7 million in combined potential value (3% execution rate), reflecting the task-order nature of the work and the standing inventory model underlying DLA subsistence procurement.
