Definitive Contract 123J1426C0596

Dutch Farms Inc., a dairy product distributor based in Chicago, Illinois, received a definitive firm-fixed-price contract award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on February 3, 2026, with a ceiling value of $480.5 million. The contract calls for the supply of fresh fluid milk products—specifically skim milk and 1% milk in both 64-ounce and 128-ounce containers—to support domestic food assistance programs. The procurement was conducted without a set-aside designation on a competitive, unrestricted basis through the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Commodity Procurement Program via the Web-Based Supply Chain Management System. All milk products must be grown, processed, and prepared exclusively within the United States in accordance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements, with delivery scheduled to multiple distribution locations across 15 states.

The contract has an ultimate completion date of June 24, 2026, reflecting the program's delivery window between April and June 2026 on an FOB destination basis. This award represents Dutch Farms Inc.'s tenth federal contract since May 2024, demonstrating the company's established position as a reliable vendor within USDA food assistance programs, with a combined value across all awards of approximately $2.2 million. The company's registration with the System for Award Management is valid through August 27, 2026, and all prior contracts have been awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis without small business set-asides, reflecting the vendor's qualification to fulfill large-volume government procurement requirements for nutritional commodities supporting low-income American households.
