Sysco Portland, Inc.

Sysco Portland, Inc., a subsidiary of Houston-based Sysco Corporation, supplies fresh and frozen food products to the Defense Logistics Agency and federal correctional institutions as a prime contractor, competing entirely in full-and-open federal procurement with no set-aside designations. The company is incorporated as a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, and operates as a regional foodservice distributor specializing in subsistence and institutional feeding support.

Sysco Portland's federal footprint centers on a single dominant contract vehicle and a highly concentrated customer base. The vendor holds a $1.095 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Troop Support Subsistence running through March 31, 2029, under which it has received 559 delivery orders (89% of all prime awards in the source) valued at $12.9 million combined potential value. Work under this IDC spans proteins including beef rib, strip loin, brisket, and pork; poultry products; seafood including salmon and halibut fillets; eggs and dairy including cheese and milk; produce; frozen bakery items; and packaged goods and condiments. Representative delivery orders include a $25,091 beef loin order awarded February 18, 2026, a $20,844 beef ribeye order placed April 15, 2024, and a $21,278 beef chuck flat iron steak order awarded March 12, 2022, all under the DLA IDC with firm-fixed-price terms and performance in Wilsonville, Oregon. In addition to the primary DLA relationship, Sysco Portland holds or participates in four additional parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE30015D3144 (304 task orders, $960 thousand potential value), SPE30019D5109 (173 task orders, $736 thousand potential value), and SPM30014D3731 (34 task orders, $190 thousand potential value), plus a Blanket Purchase Agreement AG82A7B100127 with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps (34 task orders, $449 thousand potential value).

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 559 awards and $12.9 million (88% of combined potential value), while the remaining seven customer agencies split $1.8 million across 67 awards. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Region has placed four awards valued at $1.1 million; the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps 41 awards at $504 thousand; the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan four awards at $115 thousand; and the Department of the Army four awards at $75 thousand. Emergency procurements through the Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan (a standalone contracting office for DOJ BOP) include a $18,322 emergency lockdown food purchase order awarded December 1, 2022, and an $18,158 emergency water supplies order awarded December 1, 2025.

Activity has declined in recent years. The vendor received 37 awards in 2022, 28 in 2023, 22 in 2024, 29 in 2025, and only six awards through March 2026 in the source snapshot. This trajectory reflects continued delivery-order activity under the mature DLA IDC but declining new business capture. No awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months; the underlying DLA IDC and subordinate vehicles extend through 2029 and beyond, establishing baseline recompete exposure in the 2028–2029 window. Sysco Portland operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source carries no subcontract awards, indicating the vendor does not function as a sub-side player in the federal space.

Capability is narrowly defined and concentrated in subsistence provisioning. Across 626 awards, the vendor's work falls primarily under NAICS 424410 (Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers) and 311811 (Retail Bakeries), with the product service code mix dominated by meat, poultry, and fish (229 awards); special dietary foods and food specialty preparations (260 awards); dairy foods and eggs (37 awards); and fruits and vegetables (25 awards). There is no recorded scope creep into adjacent services such as food preparation, meal planning, logistics consulting, or facility management; Sysco Portland's federal value proposition is straightforward: reliable, full-and-open-market supply of foodstuffs to institutional customers.

The parent company, Sysco Corporation, operates multiple regional subsidiaries and holds broader federal contract positions including substantial DLA IDCs valued at $804.7 million, positioning Sysco as a tier-one supplier to the U.S. military food supply chain. Sysco Portland's regional concentration in DLA Troop Support's Pacific region reflects the subsidiary structure rather than competitive differentiation; the child entity executes a geographically bounded slice of the parent's larger federal foodservice footprint.
