Superb Meats, Inc.

Superb Meats, Inc., doing business as Superb Meats Of Minnesota, is a small business based in Hudson, Wisconsin that supplies fresh and frozen meat products, dairy, canned goods, and other subsistence items to the federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-aside designations on most awards, with occasional full-and-open competitive placements, and operates across primary NAICS codes 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 424470 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish Merchant Wholesalers), and 311611 (Animal Slaughtering—Meat Processing), aligned with PSC codes for meat, poultry, fish, and related food items.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrowly focused within the Bureau of Prisons system. The top five BOP facilities account for 57% of award volume (175 awards) and 62% of combined potential value ($2.9 million), led by Federal Correctional Institution Oxford (55 awards, $1.1 million), United States Penitentiary Leavenworth (42 awards, $705 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Milan (25 awards, $436 thousand), Federal Correctional Institution Fort Worth (31 awards, $407 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Sandstone (22 awards, $294 thousand). Across the full portfolio, the vendor serves 36 distinct federal agencies, but the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons dominates as the sole meaningful customer. Representative work includes a $86,166 third-quarter fiscal year 2024 delivery order with FCI Oxford for fresh and frozen meats, dairy, and dry goods; a $95,814 multi-product meat delivery (ground beef, roast beef, turkey, beef patties, pork) to FCI Oxford in April 2023; and a $31,850 first-quarter fiscal year 2024 food bid to United States Penitentiary Leavenworth covering 95 line items of meats, produce, dairy, breads, and staples.

The vendor maintains a single parent vehicle position—a blanket purchase agreement (15B41518A00000007) carrying one task order valued at $12 thousand. Awards operate predominantly as firm fixed-price purchase orders issued quarterly by individual BOP facilities, with performance locations at Hudson, Wisconsin. Activity has declined sharply: 25 awards in 2022, 27 in 2023, 12 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 1 in 2026. The combined potential value across all 309 awards is $4.8 million with $4.8 million obligated (99% obligation rate), reflecting the small, recurring nature of quarterly subsistence buys. The vendor holds no subcontracting footprint—all 309 awards are prime awards with no sub-award presence.

Superb Meats' business is structurally exposed to BOP procurement consolidation or sole-source teaming arrangements. The vendor supplies commoditized food products on a quarterly bid basis to individual correctional facilities with no multi-year IDIQ backing, parent contract vehicle depth, or customer diversification. The award frequency and dollar magnitude have contracted significantly in the past two years, signaling either reduced BOP procurement volume, competitive losses, or shift to centralized purchasing vehicles that exclude or crowd out current award holders.
