About the company
United Food Service, Inc., the Shamrock Foods Company Division, is a large food distributor supplying frozen proteins, prepared entrees, seafood, dairy products, and specialty food items to the Department of Defense and federal agencies as a prime contractor operating on full-and-open competition without SBA certifications or set-aside participation. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, delivering institutional food products directly from its Denver, Colorado distribution infrastructure to military dining facilities across domestic locations.
United Food Service's federal footprint is extraordinarily concentrated: DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 27,817 of 28,287 total awards (98% of the vendor's portfolio) and $261 million of $403.7 million combined potential value (65% of total dollars). The vendor holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support Subsistence, most prominently IDC SPE30020D3268 (awarded April 18, 2025, $34.413 million ceiling through November 14, 2026) and IDC SPE30014D3041. The parent IDC SPE30020D3268 alone generated 8,135 task orders valued at $36 million; the related SPE30014D3041 vehicle generated 11,021 task orders valued at $26.5 million. Recent representative delivery orders under these vehicles span frozen chicken breast fillets ($3.3 million to $14.3 million orders), whole liquid eggs ($3.1 million to $9.6 million orders), individually quick frozen salmon fillets ($2.5 million to $14.3 million orders), frozen ground beef ($2.1 million to $10.5 million orders), beef steaks and strip cuts ($1.3 million to $13.2 million orders), and specialty items including Alaskan king crab legs, frozen veal steak, and prepared entrees. All orders are firm fixed-price, full-and-open competition, awarded without set-aside designation.
The vendor's capability portfolio concentrates on frozen institutional proteins and prepared foods: the top PSC categories are Meat, Poultry, and Fish (10,038 awards), Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations (9,605 awards), and Dairy Foods and Eggs (4,782 awards). Top NAICS categories are All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (12,775 awards) and Commercial Bakeries (11,831 awards). Award velocity has declined: 1,804 awards in 2022 to 736 in 2026 year-to-date, though the absolute dollar value per order remains substantial. The vendor's customer base beyond DLA is minimal—117 awards to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Englewood, 25 awards to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Job Corps, and 6 awards to the Department of the Air Force Academy—representing a narrow, highly specialized federal customer profile almost entirely dependent on a single contracting office within a single agency.
United Food Service, Inc. is a division of Shamrock Foods Company, a Phoenix-based manufacturer and distributor. The division operates solely from its Commerce City, Colorado facility (5199 Ivy Street, Denver metro area), where it maintains the warehousing and distribution infrastructure required to execute the high-volume, rapid-turnaround delivery orders characteristic of military subsistence support—many orders carry completion dates of 2–5 days from award. With no identified parent contracts, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs beyond the single-award DLA Troop Support Subsistence vehicles, United Food Service's entire federal business model rests on two or three core DLA indefinite delivery contracts that collectively represent the entirety of meaningful federal revenue.
