US Foods Inc.

US Foods Inc., through its Topeka Warehouse Division, operating as U S Foodservice, supplies frozen, refrigerated, and dry grocery subsistence products to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence Directorate as the exclusive prime contractor under a single-award indefinite delivery contract. The company competes in the full-and-open marketplace with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

US Foods Topeka is a subsidiary of US Foods Inc., a for-profit food service distributor headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois. The division operates as a straightforward food distribution vendor, with its federal business concentrated almost entirely on military subsistence provisioning. The company's concrete capability centers on procurement, warehousing, and distribution of full-line food products from the federal 8900 subsistence catalog—frozen proteins (beef, poultry, seafood), portion-controlled prepared items, dairy, eggs, baked goods, and dry goods including coffee and cereal—to Department of Defense feeding operations across Kansas and surrounding regions. Representative work includes delivery orders for frozen beef products ($17.9 million value on beef fajita strips, beef loin strip steaks, and ribeye rolls issued March 2026), seafood ($67.6 million for lobster tail issued March 2026), and frozen poultry ($26.5 million for chicken breast fillets issued April 2026), all executed from the Topeka Warehouse facility at 4725 US-24, Topeka, Kansas 66618.

Customer concentration is extreme and singular: the DLA Troop Support Subsistence Directorate accounts for 5,295 of 5,297 total awards (99.96% of the footprint) with a combined potential value of $96.5 million. A single Oklahoma Army National Guard award for $18 thousand represents the only non-DLA customer in recent years. This concentration reflects US Foods Topeka's role as an exclusive vendor under a single-award IDIQ contract rather than a diversified federal contractor.

US Foods Topeka operates under a single dominant parent vehicle: IDIQ contract SPE30022D3335, awarded by DLA on April 7, 2022, with a $54.25 million ceiling and performance through April 3, 2027. That vehicle carries 5,291 task orders valued at $37.2 million in combined potential value. A secondary IDIQ (SPE30026DR335) holds only 2 task orders worth $178 thousand. The company is the exclusive vendor for its designated service area under the primary IDIQ—a single-award arrangement with no competition on delivery orders once the parent vehicle was awarded.

Activity has been consistent and high-volume across the past several years, reflecting steady military feeding requirements. The company issued 5,297 awards between 2008 and April 2026, with annual totals of 542 (2022), 1,543 (2023), 1,455 (2024), and 1,381 (2025). The 374 awards recorded in 2026 to date reflect the abbreviated snapshot. Combined obligated dollars total $37.4 million, or 39 percent of the $96.5 million combined potential value, indicating that many delivery orders are issued but not all ceiling value is obligated. No recompete cliff is visible in the near term—the parent IDIQ SPE30022D3335 does not expire until April 3, 2027.

US Foods Topeka operates as a prime contractor on 100 percent of its awards, with no subcontract footprint in the source data. The company executes delivery orders directly without identified subcontractors. Product concentration is categorical: 5,292 awards map to NAICS All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, with secondary categories in commercial bakeries, grocery wholesaling, and food service contracting. By product service code, the largest concentration is Meat, Poultry, and Fish (3,700 awards), followed by Dairy Foods and Eggs (497 awards) and Bakery and Cereal Products (370 awards).
