Sysco Spokane Inc.

Sysco Spokane Inc., a large-business subsidiary of Houston-based Sysco Corporation, supplies frozen and fresh institutional feeding products to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor competing in full and open federal procurement with no set-aside designations. All 8,945 recent awards are prime contracts valued at $45.9 million combined potential value, with 99.5 percent flowing through the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate. The vendor operates exclusively in DLA subsistence procurement, delivering proteins, seafood, dairy, bakery goods, and specialty grocery items to military dining facilities and Department of Defense foodservice operations from its distribution facility in Post Falls, Idaho.

Sysco Spokane holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (4610107711) valued at $7.146 million, awarded March 27, 2024, and running through March 31, 2029, for institutional feeding support designated to the Philadelphia region. The vast majority of task orders flow through this parent IDC on firm fixed-price terms. The vendor's award footprint spans five additional DLA subsistence IDCs, with three vehicles anchoring the portfolio: IDC SPE30015D3143 carrying 3,943 task orders worth $4.2 million combined potential value, IDC SPE30019D5110 with 3,221 task orders worth $5.4 million, and IDC SPE30024D3006 with 1,298 task orders worth $2.5 million. Recent delivery orders named in the source cover frozen ground beef (bulk), poultry (chicken quarters, boneless breast, turkey roast), seafood (salmon fillet portions, cod fillets, shrimp), dairy (yogurt, cheese), bakery items (pizza crust, bread), and specialty products (sauces, spice blends, smoothie mixes, shortening, condiments). Individual delivery orders range from under one hundred dollars for spices and condiments to over nine thousand dollars for bulk proteins, with typical beef and poultry orders in the three-thousand to five-thousand-dollar range.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence Directorate accounts for 8,901 awards (99.5 percent of the portfolio) and $45.8 million in combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps represents the only other customer, with 11 awards and $50 thousand in combined potential value. Activity has declined year over year, from 712 awards in 2022 to 392 in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting potential margin compression or reduced order velocity from DLA subsistence operations. Top NAICS categories reflect the subsistence focus: All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (4,524 awards) and Commercial Bakeries (4,070 awards) dominate; top PSC codes track the same concentration — Meat, Poultry, And Fish (3,344 awards), Special Dietary Foods (2,515 awards), and Bakery And Cereal Products (766 awards).

Sysco Spokane operates as a 100 percent prime contractor with no subcontractor role in federal work and competes exclusively under large-business posture against other DLA-qualified subsistence vendors. The vendor's strategic advantage rests on parent-company logistics, scale (Sysco Corp holds substantially larger primary IDCs with DLA valued at approximately $804.7 million across other regions), and geographic proximity to the Philadelphia regional market it serves. All work is performed at the Post Falls, Idaho distribution facility, and the entire federal footprint sits on firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by DLA Troop Support Subsistence Directorate against pre-established IDCs in a high-velocity procurement environment where the agency issues hundreds of small-dollar orders weekly.
