Southern Foodservice Management Inc.

Southern Foodservice Management Inc. provides comprehensive foodservice management and dining facility operations to the Department of the Army and Army Sustainment Command as a prime contractor operating on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis, with 188 awards across 11 federal agencies totaling $291.4 million in combined potential value. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, registered in SAM.gov since 2001, competing as a standard commercial entity without socioeconomic designations across NAICS 722510 (Food Service Contractors) and PSC codes for dining facility operations and housekeeping services.

Army Sustainment Command dominates Southern Foodservice's customer concentration by dollar value, holding 14 awards worth $272.9 million combined potential value (94% of the portfolio's total dollars), anchored by a $178.5 million definitive contract awarded December 20, 2024, for food and fitness services and dining facility operations at Fort Gregg Adams, Virginia, and a $55.9 million definitive contract from September 2022 for comprehensive food services at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The Department of the Army proper accounts for 55 awards worth $8.1 million, and the Alabama National Guard places 43 awards worth $7 million — these are smaller individual purchase orders and delivery orders for monthly dining facility services at Anniston, Alabama and other installations. The Department of Homeland Security Federal Law Enforcement Training Center contributes 27 awards ($2.2 million), while the Transportation Security Administration holds 1 award ($659 thousand). By award count, the three largest customers (Department of the Army, Alabama National Guard, and FLETC) cover 78% of recent activity, but by dollars the concentration is extreme — Army Sustainment Command's $272.9 million base contract represents 94% of total potential value across the entire portfolio.

Southern Foodservice operates under two primary parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract W9124D21D0030 with Army Sustainment Command carries 10 task orders valued at $20 million combined potential value and anchors much of the smaller purchase-order activity at Fort Knox and other locations. Basic Ordering Agreements DABT2381D0033, DABT2380D0034, and DABT2382D0038 support additional task orders for dining services. Recent representative work includes the Fort Gregg Adams emergency foodservice activation ($178.5 million, awarded December 2024, performance through June 26, 2026), the Fort Sill building-5966 food services contract ($55.9 million, September 2022 through July 2024), a Fort Knox food and facility services delivery order ($6 million, July 2022 through July 2023), and recurring monthly purchase orders from the Alabama National Guard for Anniston dining facility meals ranging from $38 thousand to $464 thousand per order.

Activity has remained steady at 12–16 awards per year over the past five years, with 3 awards recorded in 2026 to date. Only 1 award (the TSA contract valued at $659 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete risk in that window. Service Contract Inventory data show minimal SCI-reported prime activity — only $268 thousand in invoiced revenue in FY2024 across roughly 15 FTEs — reflecting the fact that Southern Foodservice's largest contracts are fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders that often fall outside the SCI reporting threshold or are invoiced directly through Army contracting mechanisms rather than captured in the SCI dataset. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates run uniformly at $25.68/hr across the 10th, median, and 90th percentiles, suggesting standardized labor pricing on the limited SCI-visible work. Southern Foodservice operates as a 100% prime contractor — the source lists no subcontract awards — building its own delivery teams for on-site dining facility staffing, meal preparation, and catering services without reliance on named subcontractors.
