US Foods, Inc.

US Foods, Inc., a for-profit subsidiary of US Foods Inc. headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, supplies fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable food products to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no set-aside posture. The vendor operates as a child entity within the broader US Foods Inc. organization, which is a major national food distributor.

US Foods delivers subsistence supplies—beef, poultry, seafood, dairy, produce, and prepared items—for military dining facilities and commissary operations. The company holds six single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of Defense Subsistence contracting activity, awarded on March 5, 2026, with a combined ceiling of $153.6 million and performance through March 4, 2031. The primary IDIQ, with a $124 million ceiling, procures general subsistence supplies and has generated approximately 45 delivery orders in the first three weeks of April 2026 alone, each firm fixed price. Representative orders include frozen boneless beef ribeye steaks (ranging from $8,800 to $40,000 per order), ground beef in bulk ($5,000 to $9,000), bacon ($2,000 to $17,000), chicken breast fillets ($3,300 to $10,000), frozen orange juice ($2,300 to $5,900), and eggs in various formats ($2,400 to $7,000). A $10 million fresh fruit and vegetable IDIQ supports orders for blueberries (the single most frequently ordered item, with dozens of orders ranging from $1,000 to $6,000), strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, and leafy greens. A $4.9 million Zone 1 school catalog contract and $4.9 million non-food and beverage contracts round out the vehicle portfolio. All work is performed in Anchorage, Alaska, with delivery dates typically two to four weeks from award.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 1,810 awards (75% of the total) and $172.2 million in combined potential value (41% of all dollars). The Defense Commissary Agency holds 36 awards worth $61.4 million (15% of combined potential value), anchored by a smaller IDIQ footprint. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Alaska Region represents 211 awards with $1.8 million combined potential value. These three customers account for 87% of all awards and 56% of combined potential value.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2026: the vendor received 256 awards in the first four months of the year alone, compared to 7 in all of 2025 and 11 in 2024. This velocity reflects the March 5, 2026 award of the primary Subsistence IDIQ and subsequent intensive ordering activity in April 2026. Combined potential value across the active footprint stands at $420.2 million, though only 5% has been obligated to date. Award history stretches back to 1997, but the footprint shown in the source reflects the recent shift to dedicated subsistence supply for DoD military installations and commissaries.

The vendor also holds a minor subcontract position under ASRC Communications LLC for facilities support services at Eareckson Air Station and related Alaska installations, beginning in 2024, but this work is immaterial relative to the subsistence prime business. The subsidiary structure beneath US Foods Inc. does not appear to affect commercial posture — US Foods, Inc. competes full-and-open on all federal subsistence awards with no SBA set-aside designations claimed.
