Sysco Baraboo, LLC

Sysco Baraboo, LLC, doing business as Sysco, supplies institutional feeding products—frozen and fresh proteins, seafood, poultry, dairy, produce, prepared meals, and pantry staples—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor under a single-award indefinite delivery contract. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company and a subsidiary of Sysco Corporation, headquartered in Houston, Texas, and operates from Baraboo, Wisconsin. Sysco Baraboo competes in full and open competition without set-aside restrictions, reflecting its status as an established large business.

Sysco Baraboo's federal work is nearly monolithic: 8,332 of 8,393 recent awards (99% by count, $172.1 million of $172.5 million combined potential value) flow through a single parent vehicle—a $21 million indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate, awarded November 29, 2022, effective through November 28, 2027. The vendor has issued more than 180 delivery orders under this IDC since June 2025, with order values ranging from under $100 for specialty items (soup mixes, beverage powders, individual produce items) to over $26,000 for bulk protein products. Recent representative orders include $26.9 million for frozen boneless beef loin strip steaks, $24.8 million for frozen beef strips, $20.9 million for whole liquid chilled eggs, $17.6 million for salmon fillet portions, and $17.3 million for chicken tenderloins, all issued at firm fixed-price terms with completion dates spanning one to thirty days. Sysco Baraboo supplies these items to military dining facilities and Armed Forces installations worldwide.

The top parent vehicle concentration is severe. The five largest IDCs carry 7,220 task orders (86% of total awards) and $50.7 million in combined potential value. The largest single vehicle—Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30014D3029—anchors 3,648 task orders for $11.9 million. Four additional vehicles (SPE30023D3354, SPE30021D3329, SPE30020D5113, SPE30021D5133) together account for 4,522 delivery orders. All parent vehicles route through the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate.

Remaining federal activity is negligible: the Department of Veterans Affairs placed 11 awards, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons at Thomson penitentiary placed 3 awards worth $53 thousand, and the Federal Correctional Institution at Oxford placed 4 awards worth $19 thousand. Award volume has declined materially: 731 awards in 2022 fell to 118 in 2026 year-to-date, a trend driven by the consolidation of order activity across the five primary IDCs.

Sysco Baraboo's capability footprint reflects commodity food distribution. NAICS concentration shows 7,559 awards under Commercial Bakeries (90% of portfolio), 746 under All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, and 37 under Food Service Contractors. PSC coding mirrors this: 2,831 awards for Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations, 2,351 for Meat, Poultry, and Fish, 1,287 for Fruits and Vegetables, 750 for Bakery and Cereal Products, and 562 for Dairy Foods and Eggs. No subcontractor footprint appears in the source; Sysco Baraboo operates as a 100% prime vendor across all awards.

Sysco Baraboo is a subsidiary of Sysco Corporation, which holds an $804.7 million indefinite delivery contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate and maintains a dominant position in federal military food service procurement through multiple regional subsidiaries. The parent company's federal contract portfolio spans roughly 8,393 awards across defense and civilian agencies, with the vast majority routed through DLA Troop Support subsistence vehicles serving institutional feeding operations across military installations globally.
