NAICS 311514 - Dry, Condensed, and Evaporated Dairy Product Manufacturing encompasses the production of processed milk products including instant nonfat dry milk, evaporated milk, and ultra-high temperature (UHT) processed milk. These dairy products are primarily manufactured for use in government food assistance programs, military subsistence operations, and institutional food service. The category includes both shelf-stable and specialized milk products that can be stored for extended periods without refrigeration.

Federal Contract Awards in this NAICS category are predominantly issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence. Contract values range from approximately $10,000 to over $16 million, with typical performance periods spanning several months to a year. Frequently awarded entities include Gossner Foods, Diversified Foods Inc., Naturally Brand Inc., and Transylvania Vocational Services. Most awards are firm-fixed-price contracts with no specific small business set-asides. Delivery locations span the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and offshore locations, with performance primarily occurring at contractor manufacturing facilities in states like Utah, New York, and North Carolina.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on procuring various milk products for domestic food assistance programs, including fresh fluid milk, evaporated milk, and UHT milk products. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service is the primary soliciting agency, seeking milk in different fat percentages and packaging sizes for delivery between January and June 2025. The opportunities are typically unrestricted solicitations that may include potential small business set-asides, service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides, and HUBZone preferences. Contractors must meet vendor qualification requirements, use the USDA Web Based Supply Chain Management system for bidding, and ensure all products are grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States.
