Douglas Food Stores Inc.

Douglas Food Stores Inc., doing business as Douglas Equipment, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Bluefield, West Virginia that supplies commercial food service and refrigeration equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open and has not pursued SBA certifications; it holds no 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other set-aside designations, though many individual task orders and delivery orders placed under its indefinite-delivery contracts carry total small business set-asides issued by contracting officers.

Douglas Equipment's federal footprint centers on commercial food service equipment supply to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence and related DLA divisions. The vendor operates three single-award indefinite-delivery contracts—each valued at $250,000, all set aside for total small business participation—covering dishwashing machines (awarded February 2025), meat slicing machines (awarded July 2022, expired July 2023 but generating orders through recent months), and microwave ovens (awarded April 2022, expired April 2023). Recent representative work includes a $24,876.41 delivery order from DLA Subsistence for a dishwashing machine (November 2025), a $49,752.82 delivery order for a dishwashing machine (October 2025), a $90,345.85 purchase order for food preparation equipment (August 2024), a $158,480.82 purchase order for dishwashing machine sanitizers from the Coast Guard (May 2024), and a $111,785.78 purchase order for a commercial-grade serving line system from Federal Correctional Institution Morgantown (March 2026). The vendor also supplies electric water heaters, refrigeration units, ice-making machines, convection ovens, and food warming cabinets under individual purchase orders and delivery orders.

Customer concentration is acute and concentrated on DLA. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 2,314 of the vendor's 2,656 total awards (87% of award count) and $21 million of the $29.2 million combined potential value across all awards (72% of dollars). DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment represents 45 awards and $633 thousand. Together, DLA variants account for approximately 86% of recent awards and 75% of potential value. The Defense Commissary Agency (25 awards, $377 thousand), the Department of the Army Sustainment Command (19 awards, $613 thousand), and the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (12 awards, $990 thousand) round out the active base. The vendor has worked with 106 distinct federal agencies, but DLA Subsistence dominates transactional volume and dollar magnitude. Award concentration is significant: 91% of recent awards fund DLA and four other customer agencies.

Activity has contracted sharply. The vendor recorded 250 awards in 2022, declining to 130 in 2023, 121 in 2024, 98 in 2025, and 25 year-to-date in 2026 through mid-April. Only one award (combined potential value $49 thousand) carries an ultimate completion date in the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a 100% prime contractor with no identified subcontract footprint. Place of performance for all work is Bluefield, West Virginia, the vendor's headquarters.

The vendor was registered in SAM.gov as of December 2000 and maintains active federal contractor status. Douglas Equipment has no identified teaming relationships or prime-contract seats on government-wide acquisition contracts or BPAs outside its three DLA Subsistence indefinite-delivery vehicles. The contract portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 333241 (Food Product Machinery Manufacturing), which accounts for 1,680 of 2,656 awards, and PSC 7310 (Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment), which accounts for 1,581 awards. The vendor's capability is narrow and transactional: procurement and delivery of commercial-off-the-shelf food service equipment to support military dining facilities, commissaries, and federal correctional institutions, with no apparent systems integration, engineering, or complex service offerings.
