Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC

Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC, a minority-owned manufacturer of branded beverages headquartered in Goldsboro, North Carolina, supplies carbonated sodas, sports drinks, juices, teas, and beverage concentrates to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as a prime contractor operating exclusively under full-and-open competition with no set-asides. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pepsi-Cola And National Brand Beverages, LTD.

Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC delivers branded beverage products—including Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, Mug Root Beer, Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana juices, and Lipton Brisk teas—in multiple packaging formats (20-ounce plastic bottles, 5-gallon bag-in-box containers, 3-gallon concentrate jugs) to support military subsistence operations. Recent representative work includes a $1,730 BPA call for sugar-free carbonated beverages to DLA awarded January 5, 2026, a $2,480 delivery order for Tropicana Pink Lemonade to DLA awarded December 18, 2025, and a $3,190 BPA call for Cool Blue Raspberry sports drink to DLA awarded January 15, 2026. The vendor holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (SPE30024D9202) valued at $4.9 million with DLA Troop Support Subsistence, effective through September 29, 2030, under which the DLA has issued nearly 50 firm fixed-price delivery orders since the contract award on September 30, 2025.

Customer concentration is extreme and represents recompete risk. DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 6,072 of 6,073 total prime awards (100% of potential value at $57.6 million), with a single $35 award from DLA Troop Support Pacific. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Five parent vehicles anchor the award portfolio: IDV SPE30015D9235 (2,214 task orders, $811 thousand), BPA SPE30022A9442 (1,228 task orders, $1.3 million), IDV SPE30020D4062 (1,113 task orders, $24.6 million), IDV SPE30023D9202 (516 task orders, $202 thousand), and IDV SPE30021D9202 (399 task orders, $173 thousand). Award activity declined from 744 in 2023 to 603 in 2025, with 186 awards captured through April 2026 year to date.

Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC operates on a high-volume, low-dollar-per-order model characteristic of military subsistence beverage supply. Individual delivery orders typically range from under $100 to approximately $5,784, with the majority of awards below $2,500. The vendor's NAICS distribution shows concentration in Commercial Bakeries (5,475 awards) and Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (598 awards), while PSC codes span Beverages Nonalcoholic (3,659 awards), Special Dietary Foods (1,143 awards), and other food categories. This classification pattern reflects the source data aggregating across a broad vendor universe; Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC itself is specifically a beverage manufacturer supplying DLA subsistence needs.
