About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive fixed-price contract valued at $4.4 million to Bongards Creameries on December 4, 2025, for the supply of cheese blend commodities intended for domestic food assistance programs. The award encompasses cheese blend American skim milk solids in 12/2-pound loaves and 6/5-pound sliced formats, with performance scheduled for completion by February 2, 2026, and fulfillment occurring at the contractor's Humboldt, Tennessee facility. This procurement was conducted without a set-aside designation, allowing Bongards Creameries to compete openly against other vendors for the opportunity, which was posted on November 25, 2025, with a deadline of December 2, 2025.
Bongards Creameries, a Minnesota-headquartered agricultural cooperative and dairy product manufacturer, serves as a significant supplier to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and has established itself as a major provider of cheese commodities for federal nutrition initiatives including school meal programs and food bank distributions. The contractor currently maintains multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the USDA exceeding $450 million in cumulative ceiling value, with this definitive award likely representing a delivery order against one of those existing vehicle contracts. The firm's expertise in producing processed and natural cheese products in bulk formats, combined with its multi-state operational footprint, positions it to efficiently fulfill large-scale federal commodity procurement requirements supporting vulnerable populations nationwide.
