About The Smooth Sailing Group LLC
The Smooth Sailing Group LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business and SBA-certified HUBZone firm based in St. Petersburg, Florida, supplies food service and subsistence products exclusively to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides. The company operates as a 100% prime vendor with no identified subcontractors, competing almost entirely under small business designations across its federal footprint.
The Smooth Sailing Group LLC's federal work centers entirely on quarterly food procurement for the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). Capability work is narrow and specialized: comprehensive institutional food service items including meats, dairy, produce, frozen foods, dry goods, canned vegetables, condiments, and specialty dietary products certified for kosher and halal requirements. Representative awards include a $344,415 firm fixed-price purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute (June 2026, total small business set-aside) for quarterly frozen subsistence items; a $188,203 order from Metropolitan Detention Center Guaynabo, Puerto Rico (November 2025, total small business set-aside) covering first-quarter FY26 comprehensive food service; and a $155,340 contract with Federal Correctional Complex Coleman (October 2025, total small business set-aside) for National Menu first-quarter FY26 subsistence. Awards carry firm fixed pricing and typically span one to three months per quarter. The vendor demonstrates consistent performance across strict operational requirements: temperature control (34–41°F for perishables, 0°F or below for frozen goods), delivery windows (generally Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM), palletized delivery, and compliance with BOP National Menu Specifications and Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act regulations.
Customer concentration runs deep within BOP. The top five BOP facilities by potential value—Federal Correctional Complex Coleman ($566 thousand, 5 awards), Federal Correctional Complex Terre Haute ($476 thousand, 6 awards), Federal Correctional Complex Butner ($438 thousand, 8 awards), United States Penitentiary Hazleton ($364 thousand, 9 awards), and Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City ($336 thousand, 6 awards)—account for 25% of combined potential value across 34 awards. Across 76 distinct BOP facilities (the sole customer agency), the vendor has secured 244 awards totaling $8.8 million in combined potential value and $7.9 million in obligations. No parent vehicles, GWACs, or IDIQs appear in the portfolio; all awards are direct facility-level purchase orders under NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and PSC 8945 (Food, Oils And Fats).
Activity has grown sharply. The source reflects only one award in 2024, followed by 122 awards in 2025 and 121 in 2026 through October. Recent trajectory is flat year-to-date. Eighteen awards (combined potential value $677 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. Award sizes range from approximately $1,500 to $344,415, reflecting the vendor's reliance on recurring quarterly procurement cycles across the BOP network. The Smooth Sailing Group LLC operates a subscription-style model: each facility solicits quarterly food procurement on a rolling small business set-aside basis, and the vendor competes and wins awards facility-by-facility with no overarching blanket vehicle or multi-year contract structure protecting the base.
