Thrivemed, LLC

Thrivemed, LLC, a small disadvantaged business and minority-owned food supplier based in Fullerton, California, holds nine federal prime contracts under Total Small Business set-asides, exclusively serving the Federal Bureau of Prisons with subsistence and non-subsistence food products and supplies. The firm is a for-profit limited liability company, DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE), and Asian-Pacific American-owned manufacturer of goods with no reported subcontract activity or parent vehicle positions.

Thrivemed's capability portfolio is narrow and specialized: quarterly provision of institutional food commodities to federal correctional facilities, including proteins, dairy products, canned and frozen vegetables, grains, legumes, spices, condiments, kosher and halal certified items, and disposable food service supplies. Representative awards include a $34.8 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Butner for approximately 400,000 units of food commodities (awarded April 20, 2026), a $32.2 thousand award from Federal Correctional Complex Victorville for third-quarter subsistence supplies including specialty dietary items (March 17, 2026), and a $31 thousand award from Federal Correctional Complex Pollock for approximately 60 line items of dry goods, proteins, dairy, and condiments (April 20, 2026). Delivery occurs from Thrivemed's Fullerton location on firm fixed-price terms, with items required to meet Bureau of Prisons National Menu Specifications and temperature standards.

Customer concentration is entirely within the Bureau of Prisons system. Eight distinct correctional facilities represent the customer base across the source data; the top five facilities by potential value account for 84% of combined potential value, anchored by Federal Correctional Complex Butner ($35 thousand), Federal Correctional Complex Victorville ($32 thousand), and Federal Correctional Complex Pollock ($31 thousand). All nine awards are Total Small Business set-asides with no full-and-open competitions in the footprint. Activity is recent and growing: one award in 2025, eight awards in 2026, with nine awards totaling $170 thousand in combined potential value across the period of record. Ultimate completion dates range from April 2026 through June 2026, indicating all current awards are short-term quarterly supply contracts. No IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or parent vehicles appear in the source data; all work is direct purchase orders from individual facility procurement offices. No subcontract activity is reported; Thrivemed operates solely as a prime contractor.
