Sysco Louisville Inc.

Sysco Louisville Inc., Louisville Division, a regional food distribution subsidiary of Houston-based Sysco Corp, supplies frozen proteins, prepared foods, dairy products, dry goods, and institutional food products to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates exclusively through a single parent indefinite delivery contract (SPE30015D3131) valued at $42 million and effective through March 2027, under which it has received 5,170 task orders totaling $23.8 million in combined potential value since the IDC's award in March 2022.

Sysco Louisville's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in military subsistence supply. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate accounts for 12,858 awards (99% of the vendor's total prime portfolio) with $204.1 million in combined potential value, representing 85% of the vendor's total potential value across all awards. The parent IDC authorizes supply to military dining facilities, training centers, and National Guard locations across Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee. Representative delivery orders include a $61,924.70 award for canned, chilled, frozen, and dairy food products (July 15, 2026), a $64,242.17 order for frozen chicken breast with room-temperature packaging (July 13, 2026), a $86,311.60 award for meal kits with drink, breakfast, and cereal (June 4, 2026), and a $55,652.14 order for frozen chicken products (June 23, 2026). Individual task orders typically carry ceiling values ranging from under $100 to over $30,000 with completion timelines of one to five days. Secondary customers—the Defense Logistics Agency (129 awards, $9 million), the Department of Commerce Census Bureau (2 awards, $160 thousand), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons locations (4 awards, $25 thousand combined)—represent negligible share. The vendor's top NAICS categories are Commercial Bakeries (11,860 awards), Food Service Contractors (631 awards), and Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers (398 awards); top PSC codes are Meat, Poultry, and Fish (4,929 awards), Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations (3,770 awards), and Bakery and Cereal Products (1,468 awards).

Activity has declined sharply: 1,022 awards in 2022 to 543 year-to-date through July 2026, representing a 47% contraction over four years. The vendor received 859 awards in 2025 and 1,034 in 2024, indicating volatility in task order volume. All 13,012 prime awards are delivery orders against parent indefinite delivery contracts; the vendor holds no subcontracting relationships and carries no subcontract footprint. Sysco Louisville operates exclusively as a prime contractor and does not subcontract to other vendors on federal work. The parent vehicle SPE30015D3131 is the dominant IDC, anchoring the footprint; secondary parent vehicles include SPE30022D3343 (4,131 task orders, $28.3 million), SPE30020D3262 (1,257 task orders, $6.6 million), and SPM30008D3226 (622 task orders, $10.1 million). The vendor competes on full-and-open competition and carries no federal set-aside designations, positioning it in the broadline institutional food distribution market as a regional operator within Sysco Corp's federal supply network. Sysco Louisville's entire federal presence is contingent on task order performance against its single dominant parent IDC through March 2027.
