Gulf Pride Enterprises, Inc.

Gulf Pride Enterprises, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi, manufactures and supplies peeled and deveined shrimp in bulk packages to the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service for domestic food assistance programs. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor and competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Gulf Pride is classified under NAICS 311710 (Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging) and PSC code 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish).

All three of Gulf Pride's recent federal awards derive from a single customer: the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office, which accounts for 100% of awards and combined potential value of $2.1 million. The vendor holds three firm-fixed-price definitive contracts for commodities designated for USG food donations. The largest award, issued December 30, 2022, valued $1,159,500 and covered peeled and deveined shrimp in 21–30 and 31–50 count packages delivered through March 31, 2023. A second contract awarded January 31, 2024, for $303,875, procured 2,000 pounds of 31–50 count shrimp in 10–2-pound packages for delivery between March 16 and June 30, 2024. The most recent contract, awarded September 17, 2026, valued $676,875 and covers 51–70 count shrimp in 10–2-pound packages, with place of performance in Biloxi and completion by May 15, 2027.

Activity appears episodic rather than sustained, with one award per year in 2022, 2024, and 2026. One award, the September 2026 contract valued at $677 thousand, reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. Gulf Pride does not hold a position on governmentwide acquisition vehicles and conducts no subcontract work. The vendor's footprint is narrow and commodity-specific: shrimp procurement for federal food assistance, with all work performed at the Biloxi, Mississippi location and 100% of obligated dollars invoiced across the three contracts.
