Sysco Central Florida, Inc.

Sysco Central Florida, Inc., a large business subsidiary of Sysco Corporation based in Ocoee, Florida, supplies institutional feeding subsistence — frozen and fresh proteins, poultry, seafood, dairy, prepared foods, beverages, and grocery staples — to military dining facilities and federal correctional institutions as a prime contractor under full and open competition with no set-aside designation.

The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated on a single parent indefinite delivery contract. Sysco Central Florida holds a $36 million single-award IDC with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate, awarded September 8, 2023, and extending through September 9, 2028, under which it serves as the exclusive vendor for broadline food and beverage distribution across Federal Supply Group 8900. Since the award, DLA has issued over 12,800 delivery orders against this vehicle, with combined potential value of $214.9 million representing approximately 83% of the vendor's total federal portfolio. Individual delivery orders range from under $100 to approximately $118,000, with typical replenishment cycles of one to three days reflecting military dining facility operations across Central Florida and Honduras. A representative sample of recent work includes delivery orders for frozen apple juice ($42.7 million combined value across multiple orders), boneless beef strip steaks ($20.8 million), frozen chicken breast fillets ($103.7 million), liquid shortening ($31.1 million), and milk products ($5.3 million), all issued between March and July 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 12,954 of the vendor's 13,153 total federal awards (98%) and $216.7 million of $261.8 million in combined potential value (83%). The remaining portfolio fragments across the Defense Logistics Agency (134 awards, $4.1 million), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (5 awards, $315 thousand), the Department of the Army (2 awards, $41 thousand), and smaller customers. The four IDCs under which Sysco Central Florida places additional task orders — SPE30014D3000 (5,567 orders, $24.1 million), SPE30020D3275 (2,161 orders, $14.1 million), SPE30023D3362 (1,921 orders, $20.2 million), and SPE30019D3220 (1,160 orders, $6 million) — collectively generate $64.4 million in potential value but operate within the DLA Troop Support ecosystem and do not diversify the underlying customer relationship.

Sysco Central Florida operates exclusively as a prime contractor. All 13,153 awards in its federal portfolio carry prime designation; the vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint. Work is performed directly from its Ocoee distribution facility, which services MacDill Air Force Base, Patrick Air Force Base, and Camp Blanding. The vendor competes under full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. Activity has declined slightly from prior years — 812 awards in 2022 to 324 in 2026 year-to-date — though this reflects the shift from initial ramp-up ordering to stabilized replenishment cycles. The contract runs through September 9, 2028, creating a recompete opportunity within the next twenty-four months for competitors and recompete risk for the vendor. Sysco Central Florida's commercial capability portfolio, grounded in primary NAICS codes for Commercial Bakeries (6,341 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (5,246 awards), aligns with its role as a broadline institutional foodservice distributor supplying the full scope of military subsistence requirements under a single-award, exclusive vendor arrangement with minimal competitive exposure or customer diversification.
