About this award
Bongards Creameries, a Minnesota-based dairy cooperative and registered federal contractor, was awarded a delivery order on April 1, 2026, valued at $2.3 million for the supply of natural American cheese in 500-pound barrels to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service commodity procurement initiatives. The contract utilizes a fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment pricing structure with no set-aside designation, indicating open competition among qualified vendors. Performance will be completed at Bongards' facility in Perham, Minnesota, with a deadline of June 30, 2026. This delivery order represents a single task order issued against one of Bongards Creameries' multiple Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, which collectively exceed $450 million in ceiling value and authorize the agency to procure various cheese commodities for domestic food assistance programs.
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service administers federal nutrition assistance programs including the National School Lunch Program and food donation initiatives that distribute essential commodities to schools, food banks, and other organizations serving vulnerable populations. As a major supplier to these programs, Bongards Creameries has an extensive contracting history providing diverse cheese products in various formats and packaging configurations. The current delivery order for 40,800 units of natural American cheese in barrel format supports the agency's ongoing mission to ensure adequate nutritional resources for low-income individuals and families across the nation. The fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment structure allows for cost adjustments based on specified economic indices while maintaining price certainty for federal budgeting purposes.
