About the company
So-Pak-Co, Inc., division Sopakco, Inc., doing business as Sopakco Packaging, manufactures specialized military and emergency-response meal products and food packaging solutions and operates as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency with no documented subcontractor relationships. The company is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Mullins, South Carolina, subsidiary of Unaka Company, Incorporated. Sopakco holds no SBA certifications and competes predominantly in full-and-open procurement; the vendor accepts Total Small Business set-aside delivery orders flowing from parent-contract framework language rather than pursuing set-asides as a strategic focus.
Sopakco's capability portfolio centers on composite food packages, individual meals (Meals Ready-to-Eat, portable rations, and First Strike Rations), religious meals certified as Halal and Kosher, tailored operational meals, special dietary foods, and specialized combat rations supplied to defense and emergency-response customers. Recent representative work includes a $828.5 million May 2026 delivery order from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for Special Dietary Ration meal replenishment used during disaster response; a $5.3 million August 2026 FEMA delivery order for reduced sodium meals to replenish disaster-response inventory; and a $1.5 million October 2026 FEMA delivery order for emergency-response meal products and food packaging to replenish inventory at DC Bayamon and DC Tracy. The majority of Sopakco's work flows through DLA Troop Support Subsistence under multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts for tailored operational meals and religious meals, with a $13.1 million IDC awarded November 14, 2024, and running through November 11, 2029.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 5,623 awards (94% of the recent award count) and $7.86 billion (91% of combined potential value). The Federal Emergency Management Agency, across its main organization and incident support section, holds 60 awards valued at approximately $527 million combined, representing the remaining material customer base. Twenty-two distinct customer agencies appear across the source data, but DLA and FEMA together represent 99% of combined potential value. Within the DLA universe, Sopakco places delivery orders against five primary indefinite delivery contracts: IDC SPE3S119DZ117 (1,570 delivery orders, $13.6 million), IDC SPE3S124DZ101 (1,147 delivery orders, $9.6 million), IDC SPE3S114DZ100 (781 delivery orders, $22.7 million), IDC SPE3S119DZ123 (730 delivery orders, $4 million), and IDC SPE3S114DZ105 (503 delivery orders, $4.8 million). Delivery order values range from under $300 to $77.8 million, with typical performance completion periods of five to fourteen days.
Activity spans over forty years with 5,970 prime awards totaling $8.64 billion in combined potential value since 1981. Recent activity has grown modestly: 503 awards in 2022 to 641 in 2025, with 476 awards recorded through October 2026. Six awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $128.1 million and face recompete risk. The vendor's product portfolio concentrates in NAICS 311611 (Animal Slaughtering, 3,501 awards) and NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, 1,864 awards), reflecting its core food production competency. Sopakco performs substantially all work at its Mullins, South Carolina manufacturing facility, with performance locations occasionally specified at customer sites (Washington, DC; Fort Worth, TX) when customer-directed. The company operates with no documented subcontractor relationships and competes across predominantly full-and-open federal procurements with occasional calls under Total Small Business set-aside delivery orders issued within parent-contract language.
