Southeastern Food Distribution Inc.

Southeastern Food Distribution Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, supplies individually quick frozen chicken breast products to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations (100% of awards). The vendor operates as a for-profit corporate entity and competes exclusively in the poultry processing and meat commodity space (NAICS Poultry Processing, PSC Meat, Poultry, and Fish).

All ten awards in the source trace to two USDA offices: the Food and Nutrition Service (seven awards, $4.8 million combined potential value) and the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (three awards, $2.6 million combined potential value). The vendor's concrete capability centers on supplying frozen chicken breast in bulk consumer and institutional packaging — 5-pound and 10-pound units, boneless individually quick frozen (IQF) format — for federal domestic food assistance and commodity donation programs. Recent representative work includes a $1.82 million firm-fixed-price delivery order placed on August 20, 2025 for consumer-split chicken breast packages (performance in Florence, Alabama, completion February 28, 2026); a $652,080 order placed on April 1, 2026 for frozen chicken consumer split breast packages (performance in Batesville, Arkansas, completion May 31, 2026); and a $462,462 order placed on September 23, 2024 for boneless IQF chicken breast (completion December 15, 2024). The vendor has carried multiple contracts ranging from $101,010 to $1.82 million since 2021.

Activity has been sporadic, with annual award counts of 2 (2022), 1 (2023), 2 (2024), 1 (2025), and 1 (2026) — no discernible growth trajectory. Combined potential value across all awards is $7.3 million, with 100% of that amount obligated across closed or in-performance contracts. Two awards face completion in the next twenty-four months, with potential value of approximately $652,080 (the April 2026 order with ultimate completion May 31, 2026). The vendor operates solely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data and no participation in federal contract vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs). Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards fund USDA food assistance initiatives, split between the Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service.
