Military Deli & Bakery Services, Inc. (MDBS) is the largest operator of Deli and Bakery departments in military commissaries. Military commissaries are government owned shopping facilities operated by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA). DeCA commissaries look much like a commercial supermarket except they are located on military bases. Commissaries sell groceries and household goods to military service members and their families.
See the Defense Commissary website for more information. Commissaries.com
Large commissaries include a Deli and Bakery department. These departments look much like those departments found in commercial supermarkets. Due to the special knowledge required to operate these specialty departments, commissary Deli and Bakery departments in the US are operated by commercial companies under contract with the US Government.
