Holsum De Puerto Rico Inc.

Holsum De Puerto Rico Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, manufactures and supplies fresh bakery products to federal agencies as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides, with all recent work rooted in food procurement and supply-chain management for correctional facilities and veterans' healthcare systems.

Holsum De Puerto Rico operates as a for-profit manufacturer of goods classified under NAICS 311812 (Commercial Bakeries) and PSC 8470 (Bakery and Cereal Products). The vendor is Hispanic American-owned and carries both minority-owned-business and self-certified small disadvantaged business designations. Corporate structure includes a named subsidiary, Pueblo, Inc. The vendor competes entirely under full-and-open and small-business set-aside categories — no awards reflect 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other restricted designations. Recent awards split between 100% small-business set-asides and unsét procurements.

Customer concentration is extreme and tilted toward a single, long-standing relationship. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VHA VISN 8) anchors the portfolio with 23 awards totaling $571 thousand in combined potential value — representing 82% of all awards and 86% of dollars across the prime footprint. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo holds four recent awards worth $91 thousand combined, including a $39,050 purchase order awarded July 1, 2026 for enriched rolls, sandwich bread, and whole-wheat loaves meeting military specifications CID A-A-20053C and CID A-A-20052C, with delivery through September 30, 2026; a $33,545 purchase order from April 1, 2026 (ultimate completion June 30, 2026) for approximately 11,900 bags of assorted fresh bread products with bi-weekly Tuesday and Thursday deliveries; and a $2,976 purchase order from June 16, 2026 for pastries. The Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services issued a single $787,480 Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant recipient award on August 14, 2023, funding installation of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements through August 14, 2025.

Activity reflects episodic rather than recurring procurement rhythm — awards cluster in 2012–2013 (8 awards combined), a gap spanning 2014–2022, a single 2023 grant award, then a resumption of three awards in 2026. Combined potential value across the prime footprint totals $662 thousand, though combined dollars obligated reach $1.3 million (191% of potential value), indicating substantial task-order or delivery volume against small individual ceiling values. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, totaling $42 thousand in potential value. The vendor operates no subcontracting footprint and receives no sub-award work; all 28 awards in the source carry prime status.
