Key points

  • DHS paid $9,088,536.90 to Baxters North America on 2026-06-01 to buy 1,209,455 survivor daily ration meals.
  • These meals are meant for emergency stockpiles at distribution centers in Atlanta and Hawaii, not supermarket shelves.
  • The record shows scale and location, but it does not say unit price, delivery timing, or where the meals are made.
  • Restaurants and grocery prices are unlikely to be affected, this is about disaster readiness and warehouse stock.
  • There is no next date listed in the record; watch federal procurement entries for any follow up under the same award ID.
