About the company
The Smooth Sailing Group LLC, a HUBZone-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, supplies meats, dairy, produce, frozen foods, and specialty subsistence items to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor exclusively under total small business set-asides (100% of recent awards). The vendor operates as a pure food service provider to the Federal Bureau of Prisons network, competing facility-by-facility on quarterly purchase orders with no parent IDIQs, GWACs, or standing vehicles in its recent footprint.
The Smooth Sailing Group LLC's award portfolio centers on direct food procurement contracts with individual Bureau of Prisons facilities. Representative work includes a $370,475.76 frozen food delivery order with Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute (October 2026), a $340,740.89 quarterly frozen subsistence award with the same facility (June 2026), a $188,203 first-quarter food procurement with Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo, Puerto Rico (November 2025), and recurring $20,000–$60,000 range quarterly contracts across domestic facilities including FCC Butner, FCC Coleman, USP Big Sandy, FCI Beckley, and FCI McKean. All awards carry firm fixed-price terms and cover subsistence items including meats, dairy, produce, frozen goods, dry goods, canned vegetables, condiments, and kosher and halal certified items. Delivery is required to comply with Bureau of Prisons National Menu Specifications, temperature control (34–41°F for perishables, 0°F or below for frozen goods), palletized delivery, and Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act standards.
Customer concentration is extremely narrow. The top five Bureau of Prisons facilities (Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute, Federal Correctional Complex Coleman, Federal Correctional Complex Butner, United States Penitentiary Hazleton, and Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City) account for 25 percent of the vendor's combined potential value across 39 awards. The top facility alone—FCC Terre Haute—carries seven awards valued at $843 thousand. All 79 named customer agencies are components of the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (individual correctional institutions and detention centers). The vendor serves no other federal agencies; its footprint is monolithic.
Activity has grown sharply. The vendor recorded one award in 2024, 122 in 2025, and 168 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value stands at $10.8 million across 291 awards, with $8.9 million obligated (82% realization). Twenty-two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $1 million in combined potential value and representing recompete exposure concentrated in the fourth quarter of 2026 and early 2027. The vendor holds no subcontracting relationships; it operates as 100 percent prime across all awards. Set-aside posture is exclusively total small business—no full-and-open or other set-aside categories appear in the source data. NAICS concentration reflects subsistence specialization: 204 awards under NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), 53 under NAICS 311512 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and 13 under NAICS 311612 (Meat Processed from Carcasses). The company registered in SAM.gov in September 2020 and has built its entire federal footprint since then within a single customer base—the correctional institution food service market.
