Domestic Food Assistance Programs - Commodities (DFAP-C)

The Domestic Food Assistance Programs - Commodities (DFAP-C) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a federal contract vehicle focused on procuring food commodities, predominantly dairy products, for domestic assistance programs. Based on the task orders, the contract appears specifically centered on purchasing large quantities of cheese products, including mozzarella and processed cheese, for distribution through national food assistance initiatives. The contract was awarded by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) and enables multiple prime contractors to provide commodities through specific delivery orders.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate consistent procurement patterns, with most delivery orders ranging from approximately $80,000 to $6,000,000 and typically having ultimate completion dates within a single calendar year (predominantly 2015). The orders are consistently structured as fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment provisions, and no set-aside designations were used in the observed task orders. The delivery orders cover monthly allocations and specific purchase orders for cheese products, with execution dates concentrated between June and December 2015. While specific prime contractors are not explicitly named in the provided documentation, the contract vehicle shows a systematic approach to commodity procurement, likely supporting federal nutrition programs such as the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, and other food assistance initiatives administered by the Food and Nutrition Service.
