Readywise, Inc.

Readywise, Inc., operating through its Big Sky Readywise Corporation Division, is a manufacturer and marketer of freeze-dried and dehydrated food products serving the federal government. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business registered with the General Services Administration and holds federal contract authority across multiple agencies. Readywise specializes in providing emergency food supplies, meals ready-to-eat, and long-shelf-life provisions designed to support federal contingencies, peacetime operations, and personnel provisioning across the Department of Defense and other civilian agencies.

Readywise has demonstrated substantial federal contracting experience through multiple prime contract awards spanning from 2021 through 2025. The company has received purchase orders and delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution totaling over $673,000 for specialized food supplies including 288,000 individually packaged single-serving freeze-dried meals with 25-year shelf lives, 30-day food supply kits, and breakfast skillet meal packets. A recent August 2025 delivery order from the Department of Defense's Subsistence division awarded $103,718.40 for the delivery of chicken and rice products to Salt Lake City, Utah. Additional contracts were awarded by the Department of State's Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs ($13,385.99 for emergency food supply management) and the Department of State's Bureau of Administration ($8,392.76 for meals ready-to-eat procurement). The majority of these awards were made as open market solicitations with no set-aside designations, though the company also received a total small business set-aside purchase order for breakfast skillet food packets in August 2023. All contracts specified firm fixed pricing and were delivered to Salt Lake City, Utah, with completion dates ranging from 2021 through late 2025.

Readywise currently holds two significant federal contract indefinite delivery vehicles. The company maintains a $500,000 General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract (47QSWA22D0042) awarded on March 29, 2022, with performance extending through March 28, 2027. This multiple award schedule contract enables authorized federal agencies to procure meals ready-to-eat, freeze-dried foods, cereals, soups, fruits, snacks, and beverages at discounted pricing with quantity discounts beginning at 100-unit orders and guaranteed delivery within 10-14 business days. The contract supports emergency preparedness and operational food supply requirements across the Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Justice, and Department of Veterans Affairs. More significantly, Readywise was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Philadelphia Operational Rations Program Office on February 27, 2025, valued at $14,641,536 with performance through February 2030. Under this contract, Readywise will supply two dehydrated menu items—yellow curry with rice, chicken, and vegetables, and macaroni and cheese—for the Unitized Group Rations (UGR) Heat and Serve program. This substantial contract reflects the government's confidence in Readywise's production capacity and capability to ramp up deliveries to support Department of Defense contingencies and emergency peacetime requirements.
