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 Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service as a prime contractor under full-and-open procurements, competing without set-aside designation on most awards. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business, with operations and delivery locations across the South, including Batesville, Arkansas; Florence, Alabama; and St Florian, Alabama.

Southeastern Food Distribution's federal footprint is entirely domestic food assistance commodity supply. All eleven awards in the source span NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing) and PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish). Representative work includes a $1.82 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded August 20, 2025, for delivery of individually quick frozen chicken breast consumer split portions to support USDA domestic food assistance programs, with performance in Florence, Alabama; a $978,120 definitive contract awarded August 27, 2026, for chicken consumer split breast packages to the Food and Nutrition Service under no set-aside; and a $652,080 contract awarded April 1, 2026, also for frozen chicken consumer split breast packages in 6/5-pound units, with performance in Batesville, Arkansas. Earlier awards include a $725,400 contract in September 2022 and a $465,660 contract in February 2022, both for individually quick frozen boneless chicken breast packaged in 10-pound bags.

Customer concentration is complete — all eleven awards and 100% of combined potential value derive from two USDA offices: the Food and Nutrition Service (8 awards, $5.7 million combined potential value) and the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (3 awards, $2.6 million combined potential value). Combined potential value across all awards totals $8.3 million, with $8.3 million obligated (100% of potential value). Activity has remained flat to modest over the award window — two awards in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award (valued at $978 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Southeastern Food Distribution operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source lists no subcontract work.
