United States Bakery

United States Bakery, operating as Franz Family Bakeries, is a major supplier of fresh bakery products to the federal government, particularly the Department of Defense. The company provides a wide range of baked goods including bread, rolls, bagels, muffins, and doughnuts to military installations and other government facilities. Based in Seattle, Washington, United States Bakery has established itself as a key contractor for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence, consistently fulfilling orders to support the food and subsistence needs of U.S. military personnel.

Through its federal contract awards, United States Bakery has supplied an extensive variety of fresh bakery items to the DLA. These products include white bread, whole wheat bread, rye bread, French bread, raisin bread, hamburger rolls, hot dog rolls, hoagie and submarine rolls, dinner rolls, English muffins, bagels in various flavors, and cake-style doughnuts. The majority of these orders have been placed by the DLA Troop Support Subsistence and DLA Troop Support Pacific, indicating a strong focus on supporting military food service operations. The contract awards are typically small to medium-sized delivery orders, ranging from as low as $18 to over $2,500, with most falling in the $100-$500 range. These orders are fulfilled on a tight schedule, often requiring delivery within a few days of the award date. No set-aside designations were used for these contracts, suggesting that United States Bakery competes in full and open competition for these opportunities.

United States Bakery holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) with the DLA Troop Support Subsistence, awarded on August 8, 2023, with a ceiling value of $4.9 million. This single-award IDV is set to run through September 12, 2026, and covers the provision of fresh bakery products to military customers in Washington State. Under this contract vehicle, United States Bakery has received numerous fixed-price delivery orders for various bread and roll products, with performance primarily taking place in and around Seattle. The IDV allows the DLA to efficiently procure a steady supply of fresh baked goods to support its operations in the Pacific Northwest region, ensuring that military personnel have access to essential food items. This contract demonstrates United States Bakery's significant role in the DLA's supply chain for fresh bakery products and its long-term commitment to serving the needs of the U.S. military.
