Matts Trading Inc.

Matts Trading Inc., a small disadvantaged business, supplies food service products to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor exclusively under small business set-asides, operating from its Palm City, Florida headquarters.

Matts Trading is a for-profit corporate entity and small business joint venture registered since September 2015 in the System for Award Management. The company operates across NAICS codes centered on food manufacturing—chiefly 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 311612 (Meat Processed from Carcasses), and related categories—with PSC codes reflecting meat, poultry, fish, oils, and fats procurement. The vendor's award footprint is entirely small business set-aside, with 93 percent of awards designated Total Small Business and the remainder split across Partial Small Business and full-and-open categories. No subcontractor relationships appear in the source data; Matts Trading performs all work as prime.

The company delivers concrete food service supplies: comprehensive subsistence procurement including beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fish, dairy products, frozen foods, vegetables, dry goods, canned goods, breads, specialty items certified kosher and halal, and non-food items such as napkins and disposable service supplies. Representative examples include a $157 thousand total small business set-aside delivery order from Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City (July 2026) for Q4 FY26 subsistence covering 62 primary line items and 21 kosher and halal meal options; a $136 thousand total small business set-aside from Federal Correctional Complex Victorville (August 2025) for Q1 subsistence with kosher and specialty food products; and a $179 thousand total small business set-aside from Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (April 2025) for canned goods—all firm fixed-price quarterly purchase orders under FOB Destination terms with strict temperature controls and palletization requirements.

Customer concentration is pronounced and narrowly focused within the Bureau of Prisons. The top five Bureau of Prisons facilities account for 28% of combined potential value: Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (29 awards, $1.7 million), Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City (27 awards, $850 thousand), United States Penitentiary Hazleton (21 awards, $602 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution McDowell (13 awards, $545 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Petersburg (21 awards, $488 thousand). Across 94 distinct customer locations, the Bureau of Prisons operates as the sole funding agency. The vendor serves individual correctional institutions across CONUS with performance and distribution centered at its Boca Raton, Florida facility.

Matts Trading holds no named parent contract vehicles—all awards are direct purchase orders issued quarterly by individual Bureau of Prisons facilities under standalone solicitations. The vendor competes in small business set-aside spaces and does not appear on government-wide acquisition contracts, schedule vehicles, or multi-agency IDIQs.

Activity has grown consistently year over year: 60 awards in 2022 to 97 in 2024 to 162 in 2025, with 97 awards in 2026 through mid-October. Combined potential value across all 659 prime awards totals $15 million, with $13.9 million obligated. A recompete cliff of $254 thousand in combined potential value covers nine awards completing in the next twenty-four months, presenting moderate near-term exposure but reflecting the vendor's quarterly renewal cycle across a broad base of small, recurring orders rather than large anchor contracts.

Matts Trading operates exclusively as a prime contractor to the federal Bureau of Prisons, with no documented teaming relationships, subcontracts, or diversification into non-food service categories. The vendor's competitive posture is entirely small business set-aside; it does not pursue full-and-open competition. The company's business model is highly specialized: quarterly firm fixed-price purchase orders for institutional food procurement, with award concentration across correctional facilities, strict compliance with National Menu Specifications, religious dietary certifications, temperature and delivery controls, and product quality standards anchored to federal food safety regulations.
