Elwood International, Inc.

Elwood International, Inc., doing business as Elwood, William J, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subchapter S Corporation based in Copiague, New York, that manufactures and distributes food products exclusively to the federal correctional system as a prime contractor under recurring total small business set-asides. The company operates across primary NAICS codes 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and related food manufacturing and distribution categories, supplying the Bureau of Prisons with subsistence items including dry goods, canned products, dairy, baked goods, fresh and frozen meats and poultry, produce, condiments, and religiously certified kosher and halal meal options.

Elwood's customer footprint is heavily concentrated within the federal Bureau of Prisons. The top five customer facilities account for approximately 13 percent of recent awards by count and 28 percent of combined potential value. The Federal Correctional Complex Coleman leads both rankings with 71 awards totaling $1.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont with 43 awards and $664 thousand combined value. The Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood, United States Penitentiary Lewisburg, and Federal Correctional Complex Victorville round out the top five. Across the award portfolio, 92 distinct Bureau of Prisons facilities appear as customers, reflecting a wide geographic distribution of recurring quarterly purchase orders. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides; only a small handful of awards carry no set-aside or partial small business designations.

Elwood's activity trajectory has grown modestly. The vendor received 40 awards in 2022, 47 in 2023, 53 in 2024, and 61 in 2025, averaging approximately 48 awards per year over the past four years. The most recent award, dated 31 October 2026, brought the 2026 tally to 40 awards. Combined potential value across all 1,720 awards in the source is $12 million, with $11.8 million (99 percent) obligated. Award values cluster in the $5 thousand to $45 thousand range for individual quarterly purchase orders. Twelve awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $240 thousand and face recompete. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; no subcontract work appears in the source.

Elwood's product portfolio is anchored in food manufacturing and distribution. The award descriptions consistently cite subsistence procurement covering multiple line items of dry goods, canned items, dairy products, frozen meats, condiments, and prepared meals with kosher or halal certification. Representative contracts include a $45,030 delivery order to Federal Correctional Complex Victorville for fourth-quarter FY26 food items (June 2026), a $55,286 quarterly subsistence supply to Federal Correctional Complex Pollock covering beans, rice, pasta, dairy, oils, dressings, and seafood (January 2024), and a $49,387 kosher menu contract to Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (January 2023). Elbow has held Bureau of Prisons contracts since at least November 2003 per SAM registration language in award summaries. The company does not pursue work outside the federal correctional system, does not hold parent contract vehicles such as GWACs or BPAs, and does not serve as a subcontractor to larger primes.
