H Schrier & Co Inc.

H Schrier & Co Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation based in Brooklyn, New York, supplies subsistence food products exclusively to the federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor is 100% reliant on quarterly purchase orders from individual Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide, with no subcontract work and no work outside the correctional-food-service domain.

The vendor's concrete capability is straightforward: procurement and delivery of commercial food and subsistence items—produce, dry goods, baked items, canned goods, meats, dairy, oils, condiments, and specialized dietary offerings including kosher and halal certified meals—to federal correctional facilities to support inmate meal programs. Representative awards span the recent period: a $82,382 firm fixed-price purchase order from the United States Penitentiary Hazleton on October 1, 2026, for first-quarter FY27 subsistence commodities (the most recent award in the source); a $85,076.58 award from the Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood on July 21, 2026, for fourth-quarter FY26 prepared meals and dry goods; and a $94,124.74 award from the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on July 1, 2024, for meat, kosher, halal, milk, and subsistence items. All awards are firm fixed-price and structured as quarterly procurements under the Bureau of Prisons' National Menu Specifications.

Customer concentration is highly distributed across the Bureau of Prisons' 94 distinct facility locations, but the top five facilities represent only 11% of awards and 17% of combined potential value. The Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood leads both lists with 60 awards and $3 million combined potential value; Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix and Federal Correctional Complex Coleman each hold $2.2 million in combined potential value across 60 and 57 awards respectively. The vendor has held over 2,775 purchase orders totaling $69.1 million since its SAM.gov registration in May 2001. Activity has declined year over year—141 awards in 2022 declining to 50 awards through October 2026—a trajectory that may reflect post-pandemic normalization in quarterly correctional-facility provisioning or vendor consolidation within the Bureau of Prisons' supplier network.

The vendor holds no parent vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs; it competes directly against other small businesses in individual facility-level solicitations, each set aside for total small business participation under NAICS codes 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and allied food-service codes. The vendor's business model is pure commodity fulfillment: approximately 2,784 awards across a 26-year history, with 99% obligated (indicating near-zero contract cancellations or modifications that reduce funding). The recompete cliff over the next 24 months is minimal—only 3 awards with $194 thousand in combined potential value completing by October 2028—a reflection of the quarterly rolling-procurement cycle that staggered H Schrier's order book across 94 facilities.

The vendor does not perform subcontract work and maintains no prime-contractor relationships. H Schrier's federal footprint is monolithic: subsistence procurement for Bureau of Prisons inmate meal programs, entirely under total small business set-asides, with no exposure to other agencies, contract vehicles, or service lines. The vendor's competitive position is narrow but defensible within the small-business food-service niche, supported by demonstrated past-performance history and established supply-chain infrastructure from its Brooklyn headquarters to nationwide facility delivery locations.
