US Foods, Inc.

US Foods, Inc., a for-profit subsidiary of national food distributor US Foods Inc. based in Anchorage, Alaska, supplies fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable subsistence products to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no SBA set-aside posture. The vendor holds six single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Defense Department Subsistence contracting activity, awarded March 5, 2026, with a combined ceiling of $153.6 million through March 4, 2031, and has generated over 1,060 delivery orders in 2026 alone, representing the vast majority of the vendor's recent federal footprint. All work is performed in Anchorage, Alaska, with firm fixed-price delivery orders typically completing two to four weeks from award.

US Foods, Inc.'s federal customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence, which accounts for 2,614 awards (roughly 81% of recent prime awards) and $176.7 million in combined potential value (42% of the portfolio). The Defense Commissary Agency places a secondary but substantial set of orders: 36 awards worth $61.4 million combined potential value (15% of dollars). The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region rounds out material customers with 211 awards and $1.8 million. Within the subsistence footprint, the top NAICS categories are Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers (1,578 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (581 awards), with PSC codes dominated by Dairy Foods and Eggs (1,359 awards) and Fruits and Vegetables (928 awards).

The vendor's parent vehicle footprint consists of five named indefinite-delivery contracts, each issuing hundreds of task orders. Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM30008D3166 carries 678 task orders and $4.6 million combined potential value, followed by SPE30026D4003 with 580 task orders and $4.8 million. The primary general subsistence IDIQ (the $124 million contract) generated approximately 45 delivery orders in the first three weeks of April 2026 alone, reflecting rapid ordering velocity following March 5 vehicle award. Representative delivery orders from 2026 include frozen boneless beef ribeye steaks ($71,283 and $43,527), chicken breast fillets ($29,543 and $17,795), frozen lobster tails ($11,474 and $8,746), fresh strawberries (dozens of orders from $1,000 to $6,000, with blueberries as the single most frequently ordered produce item), ground beef in bulk, bacon, eggs, and prepared items, all supporting military dining facilities and commissary operations.

US Foods, Inc. also holds subcontractor relationships with ASRC Communications, Ltd., a prime on Air Force service contracts, where the vendor provides services under task order work spanning option years 5 through at least early 2025. Activity has grown dramatically — from single-digit annual award counts prior to 2023 to 1,060 awards in 2026 — driven by the March 5, 2026 vehicle awards and subsequent high-velocity ordering against them. The vendor competes exclusively in full-and-open subsistence procurement with no SBA certifications, positioning it as a mainstream commercial food distributor rather than a set-aside-focused vendor.
