Regional Produce Distributors, LIMITED Liability Company

Regional Produce Distributors, LIMITED Liability Company, doing business as Regional Produce Distributor, supplies fresh produce, dairy products, eggs, and specialty food items to federal correctional facilities across the Southeastern United States as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business organized as a limited liability company, family-owned, and based in Birmingham, Alabama, with over 100 years of experience in the food distribution industry.

The vendor's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated in the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The top five funding sites account for 88% of recent awards by count: Federal Correctional Complex Coleman leads with 18 awards worth $1.7 million combined potential value, followed by Federal Correctional Institution Aliceville (16 awards, $812 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Talladega (12 awards, $680 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Maxwell (7 awards, $133 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Memphis (5 awards, $313 thousand). However, a single outlier reshapes the dollar ranking: a $4.6 million Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program award (presumably a COVID-19 relief-era contract for fresh fruit and vegetable boxes) represents 52% of combined potential value across all 66 awards. Excluding that anomaly, BOP facilities drive 96% of remaining revenue, with Coleman, Aliceville, and Talladega accounting for the vast majority of routine quarterlyto monthly subsistence purchase orders.

Regional Produce Distributors' recent award activity has grown year over year—4 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2025—and continues at 13 awards in 2026 (through mid-July). The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor; 100% of its 66 awards are direct to the vendor with no subcontractors identified. Nearly all work is transacted as firm-fixed-price purchase orders under total small business set-asides. Awards span dairy foods and eggs (35 awards under PSC), fresh fruits and vegetables (25 awards), and miscellaneous prepared and specialty food items (16 awards across related NAICS codes). Representatively, the vendor has been awarded approximately $214 thousand for one-half pint whole milk to Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City (July 2026), $132 thousand for fresh produce and subsistence to Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (June 2026), and $200 thousand for certified kosher milk to Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (April 2025). Work is performed in Birmingham, Alabama, with delivery to facilities in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Only 3 awards carrying $348 thousand in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure despite the vendor's high transaction volume.

The vendor serves 11 distinct federal agencies in the source data, but BOP facilities account for nearly all operational revenue. The absence of GWAC, BPA, or agency-wide IDIQ vehicles in the vendor's footprint reflects the transactional nature of correctional institution food procurement—regular purchase orders issued directly by individual facilities rather than through parent vehicles. Regional Produce Distributors competes entirely under total small business set-asides and does not appear in full-and-open competition, reinforcing its small disadvantaged business posture as a core competitive advantage for BOP subsistence supply.
