US Foods Inc.

US Foods Inc. Grand Forks Division, doing business as U.S. Foodservice, is a for-profit subsidiary of US Foods Inc. (headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois) that supplies frozen and fresh subsistence items—proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared meals—to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under a single-award indefinite delivery contract, competing without set-aside designation.

The Grand Forks Division operates exclusively under a single-award IDC (SPE30021DA049, $4.9 million, awarded September 1, 2021, expiring August 30, 2026) with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence program. Delivery orders issued against this vehicle span frozen beef products (ribeye rolls, flank steak, brisket), proteins (chicken thighs, salmon fillets, shrimp), fresh produce (strawberries, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, grapes), and prepared frozen items (lasagna, chicken cordon bleu, pizza crust). Individual delivery orders range from under $100 to approximately $16,000, with completion timelines of two to fourteen days, reflecting the expedited replenishment cycles that characterize military subsistence procurement. The underlying contract originally focused on fluid and cultured dairy products for military customers in Washington state but has evolved to encompass the full spectrum of subsistence categories now visible in the delivery-order stream. Place of performance is Grand Forks, North Dakota, where US Foods Inc. maintains a regional distribution facility serving as a critical node in the DLA's military food supply network.

Customer concentration is extreme: of 16,593 recent prime awards documented across the vendor's footprint, 16,568 (99.8%) are DLA Troop Support Subsistence delivery orders totaling $117.1 million in combined potential value. The remaining five customer agencies—the Indian Health Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Rocky Mountain Region, the North Dakota Army National Guard, and the Forest Service Job Corps—account for only 25 awards and $867 thousand combined potential value. This single-customer dependency anchors the vendor's federal business entirely to DLA's subsistence procurement processes, which are conducted competitively and without set-aside designation.

Recent activity shows sharp decline from prior years: 575 awards in 2022 declining to 235 awards annually in 2024–2025, with only 66 awards year-to-date through April 2026. This trajectory suggests either a recompete cliff approaching, a shift in DLA procurement patterns, or consolidation of delivery orders under fewer contract vehicles. Combined potential value across all awards is $118 million, with $23.9 million obligated to date (20% execution rate). The top five parent vehicles under the consolidated view are distinct IDCs (SPE30019DSA45, SPE30014D3026, SPE30014D3027, and related numbered contracts), each carrying hundreds or thousands of delivery orders; however, these vehicle numbers do not align with the single SPE30021DA049 vehicle visible in the Grand Forks Division's award history, suggesting the vendor award portfolio aggregates activity across multiple US Foods Inc. divisions or operating units beyond the Grand Forks facility.

NAICS distribution shows heavy concentration in Commercial Bakeries (13,073 awards) and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (3,495 awards), indicating that the parent entity's broader footprint encompasses bakery-production and fresh-produce operations alongside the Grand Forks Division's role as a regional distributor. PSC concentration mirrors this: Fruits and Vegetables (11,068 awards), Special Dietary Foods (3,223 awards), and Meat, Poultry, and Fish (1,735 awards) dominate. The Grand Forks Division itself competes across all three commodity families within its single DLA IDC, positioning it as a comprehensive subsistence supplier rather than a specialist.

No subcontractor relationships are documented; US Foods Inc. performs as the sole prime contractor on all awards. The vendor operates with no set-aside certifications and competes in full-and-open procurements exclusively, relying on its established vendor status, quality compliance history, and geographic proximity to military installations within DLA's regional distribution network to sustain its award volume.
