US Foods Inc.

US Foods Inc., operating through its US Foods - Raleigh Division as U S Foodservice, supplies frozen and chilled subsistence items—meats, seafood, dairy products, and prepared meals—to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders. The company is a for-profit subsidiary of US Foods Inc. (Rosemont, Illinois) and competes without SBA set-asides; all 42,320 prime awards documented span no set-aside procurement.

The Raleigh Division's federal footprint is dominated by a single customer: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division accounts for 42,305 awards (100% of awards by count, $1.53 billion combined potential value). The remaining customer agencies—the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Butner, the Department of the Army, the North Carolina Army National Guard, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service—collectively represent fewer than 15 awards and negligible dollar value. This concentration is extreme; US Foods functionally operates as a dedicated DLA Subsistence vendor for military dining facilities.

Work performed centers on delivery orders for subsistence procurement. Representative prime awards from the April 2026 cycle include a $114.5 million delivery order for frozen beef fajita strips, a $99.9 million order for shrimp (whole, raw, peeled and deveined, individually quick frozen), a $97.2 million order for frozen beef strips, and orders ranging from sub-thousand-dollar calls for eggs or spices to six-figure procurements of salmon portions, ground beef patties, and chicken breast fillets. All orders are firm fixed price, issued from the Raleigh Division's Zebulon, North Carolina facility, with completion dates typically one to two weeks from issuance. The company also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with DLA Subsistence for dairy procurement, ceiling $4.9 million, running through February 2031, though recent task-order activity against it is not documented in the source.

Five parent DLA Subsistence indefinite delivery contracts anchor the task-order footprint. IDC SPE30021D3313 carries 19,551 task orders ($246.2 million combined potential value), SPE30014D3045 carries 15,348 task orders ($111.7 million), SPE30019D3236 carries 2,553 task orders ($19.6 million), SPE30020D3281 carries 1,052 task orders ($9.1 million), and SPE30021D3302 carries 963 task orders ($14.8 million). These five vehicles represent the entire prime footprint; no other parent vehicles are named.

Activity has declined year over year—4,523 awards in 2022 to 1,001 in 2026 (through mid-April). The award portfolio spans all other miscellaneous food manufacturing and commercial bakeries as leading NAICS categories (23,960 and 16,729 awards respectively), with meat, poultry, and fish procurement (PSC 8420, 20,244 awards) as the dominant product category, followed by special dietary foods and food specialty preparations (10,262 awards) and dairy foods and eggs (4,385 awards). The vendor subcontracts to ASRC Federal Field Services on one documented modification, issued June 2024, for task-order services on an unspecified prime contract; sub-engagement is minimal relative to the prime footprint and appears ancillary to the core DLA Subsistence business.

Place of performance for all documented work is Zebulon, North Carolina, the Raleigh Division's operating location.
