The company, which registered in SAM.gov on June 18, 2019, specializes in supplying a comprehensive range of Pepsi-branded beverage products to federal government agencies, particularly the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence directorate. Through its federal contracting activities, Pepsi Cola Bottling Company Of Lincoln has become a strategic partner in supporting military food service operations by delivering beverages to military commissaries, dining facilities, and other defense-related food service environments.

The company has provided an extensive array of beverage products to the federal government through numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by the DLA Troop Support Subsistence directorate since 2021. Products supplied include Pepsi-Cola in 5-gallon bag-in-box containers, Gatorade sports drinks in multiple flavors including grape, orange, and fruit punch, Dr Pepper sodas, Tropicana pink lemonade, and supplementary items such as carbon dioxide for beverage production. The delivery orders have ranged in value from zero dollars (for carbon dioxide orders) to approximately $1,425, with the vast majority of contracts featuring firm fixed-price arrangements and no set-aside designations, indicating open competition for procurement. All delivery orders have been issued to the company's Lincoln, Nebraska facility, and performance periods have typically ranged from one to thirty days. The company has consistently received task orders from a single funding agency—the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence—with no involvement of subcontractors documented in the award records. Over eighty delivery orders have been awarded to the company between September 2021 and August 2025, demonstrating consistent and sustained demand for its beverage distribution capabilities.
