Huhn GMBH & Co.kg

Huhn GMBH & Co.kg, a for-profit limited liability company based in Dickesbach, Germany, provides food waste disposal and environmental waste management services to the U.S. Department of Defense as a full-and-open prime contractor with no small business certifications. The vendor competes exclusively on the open market, with 100% of its 292 recent awards placed as prime contracts carrying no set-aside designation.

Huhn's federal work centers on recurring food waste collection, transportation, and disposal operations at U.S. military installations in Germany, supported by a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with U.S. Air Forces Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA) valued at $2 million and running through September 30, 2029. Representative work includes a $604,091 purchase order from U.S. Army Europe Region for waste food and bio waste disposal at U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder (awarded July 2026, performing through July 2031), a $294,171 purchase order from Army Installation Management Command Europe Region for bio waste pick-up and disposal (awarded July 2023, completing July 2026), and dozens of monthly BPA calls ranging from $2,000 to $25,000 under USAFE-AFAFRICA's $2 million umbrella vehicle covering the Kaiserslautern Military Community region, including Ramstein Air Base and Vogelweh Air Base.

Customer concentration is extreme and geographically specific. USAFE-AFAFRICA accounts for 265 of 292 awards (91% of count) and $21.1 million of $22.8 million combined potential value (93%). The remaining customer base splits thinly: Army Installation Management Command Europe Region (10 awards, $1.6 million), Defense Commissary Agency (15 awards, $56 thousand), and Defense Finance and Accounting Service (2 awards, $8 thousand). All work is performed in Germany with no domestic U.S. footprint in the source data.

The vendor's parent-vehicle portfolio is dominated by the October 2024 single-award BPA FA561324A0029 with USAFE-AFAFRICA (42 task orders, $269 thousand combined value), supplemented by predecessor BPA vehicles FA561315A0001 (52 task orders, $14.9 million), FA561320A0001 (158 task orders, $746 thousand), and FA561310AR013 (26 task orders, $471 thousand). These vehicles consolidate food waste disposal across multiple military installations and Defense Commissary Agency commissaries under unified contracting frameworks, enabling recurring monthly task orders.

Activity remained steady through 2023–2024 but has declined: 34 awards in 2022, 35 in 2023, 29 in 2024, 27 in 2025, and 6 to date in 2026. No recompete cliff data is provided in the source, but the October 2024 $2 million single-award BPA extends through September 2029, anchoring the vendor's forward pipeline. Of the $22.8 million combined potential value across all 292 awards, only $2.9 million (13%) has been obligated, indicating substantial ceiling availability and predictable monthly task-order draw-downs typical of operations-and-maintenance food waste services.

The vendor holds no subcontractor role; all work is prime. It does not appear on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQs), or GSA Schedules in the source. Its competitive position rests entirely on direct procurement from USAFE-AFAFRICA and subordinate customer agencies (DeCA, Army) through sole-source or competitive BPA calls under the two main umbrellas. Huhn has been registered to receive federal awards since January 2009, establishing a seventeen-year tenure in the Defense environmental services market in the European theater.
