Fem Food Equipment Marketing GMBH

Fem Food Equipment Marketing GMBH, doing business as Fem GMBH, a German for-profit commercial food service equipment supplier headquartered in Offenburg, Germany, sells kitchen appliances, dining facility equipment, and commissary merchandisers to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor exclusively, competing entirely on full-and-open (non-set-aside) terms across 406 purchase orders since 1994. The vendor operates with no subcontracting footprint and maintains SAM registration dating to July 2003.

Fem GMBH's concrete capability portfolio centers on supply and installation of commercial-grade food service equipment — convection ovens, combi ovens, dishwashers, pressure steamers, refrigeration units, serving counters, salad bars, beverage counters, merchandisers, and specialized kitchen appliances — deployed to support dining facilities and commissaries at U.S. military installations throughout Europe. Representative contracts include a $395,791.52 DFAC equipment replacement order from the Army Sustainment Command for work tables, cooking appliances, and serving equipment; a $304,443 serving line main-line-complete delivery to the Army Sustainment Command; a $236,798.70 Defense Commissary Agency purchase for 57 merchandisers across German and Belgian commissaries; and a $151,556.82 Defense Logistics Agency award for specialized equipment. Across the recent award sample, contract values typically range from $11,000 to $395,000 per purchase order, with cumulative potential value of $27.5 million across all awards.

Customer concentration clusters heavily within Army-aligned components and Air Force Europe operations. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 69 percent of recent awards, led by the Department of the Army (80 awards, $2.5 million), the Department of the Air Force (52 awards, $1.8 million), the Army Sustainment Command (51 awards, $3.4 million), Air Forces Europe and Africa (50 awards, $1.9 million), and Army Installation Management Command Europe Region (48 awards, $1.5 million). By potential-value ranking, the Army Sustainment Command anchors the portfolio at $3.4 million, followed by the Department of the Army at $2.5 million. Defense Commissary Agency awards represent a secondary revenue stream across individual purchase orders, and Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Health Agency, Joint Munitions Command, and Navy Installations Command round out the active set.

The vendor's federal work flows through GSA Federal Supply Schedules: GS07F0452K carries 98 task orders worth $2 million combined potential value; GS22F0122F holds 8 task orders; and GS07F9790H carries 3 task orders. All other awards are direct purchase orders issued outside vehicle structures. Award volume has remained relatively steady across the past five years — thirteen awards in 2022, sixteen in 2023, eighteen in 2024, declining to nine in 2025, with one award in the first quarter of 2026 — reflecting consistent but non-growth-trajectory demand for equipment replacement and logistics support at forward-deployed U.S. military installations in Europe.

Place of performance is consistently Germany, with delivery sites spanning military bases in Germany, Belgium, Romania, the Mediterranean (Lajes Field, Ankara, Incirlik), and the United Kingdom, with transshipment routing through Europe. The vendor maintains no U.S. domestic footprint and no teaming or subcontracting relationships in its federal work; all procurement, logistics, and installation are performed directly by Fem GMBH from its German headquarters. All awards carry firm fixed-price terms with no set-aside designations — the vendor competes in full-and-open procurements exclusively, without claiming small business, women-owned, disabled-veteran, or other socioeconomic status.
