Affiliated Foods Inc.

Affiliated Foods Inc. is a food distribution company that supplies essential subsistence items to federal agencies through its subsidiary, Plains Dairy LLC. The company has established itself as a reliable vendor within the federal procurement landscape, primarily serving the Department of Veterans Affairs through specialized dairy product supply contracts. Affiliated Foods Inc. operates through a subsidiary structure that allows it to maintain focused operations on specific federal procurement needs while leveraging the parent company's broader food distribution expertise.

Affiliated Foods Inc. has received federal contract awards exclusively through its subsidiary, Plains Dairy LLC, which operates as a small business entity. All awarded contracts have been Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) calls issued by Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17), a component of the Department of Veterans Affairs, for dairy product procurement supporting the Amarillo VA Health Care System in Amarillo, Texas. The contracts cover the supply of dairy items including milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and buttermilk delivered on weekly schedules to support veteran healthcare operations. The contract awards span from October 2021 through November 2025, with individual task orders ranging from $1,008.89 to $87,756.99. These awards include both small business set-aside and non-set-aside designations, with the underlying solicitations originally posted as small business set-asides. The cumulative value of awarded task orders demonstrates sustained federal demand for Plains Dairy's services, with the company maintaining consistent capability in federal dairy procurement since at least 2020. No prime federal contracts have been held directly by Affiliated Foods Inc.; all awards have been to its subsidiary Plains Dairy LLC.

Affiliated Foods Inc. holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, awarded on November 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $90,358.64 and an initial completion date of October 31, 2025. This BPA was established through a solicitation posted on October 18, 2023, and was set aside for total small business participation, evaluated on technical acceptability, past performance, and price using best value determination. Under this IDV, Plains Dairy LLC has been issued three task orders: the first awarded November 1, 2023, valued at $87,756.99 through October 31, 2028; the second issued November 1, 2024, valued at $20,300.31 also through October 31, 2028; and the third awarded November 1, 2025, valued at $87,756.99 with completion targeted for October 31, 2031. The cumulative value of these task orders totals $195,813.29, indicating that contract modifications or extensions have been implemented to accommodate operational requirements. All task orders are firm fixed-price contracts performed in Amarillo, Texas, with no individual set-aside designations despite the parent BPA's small business set-aside status. This BPA structure permits VISN 17 to issue task orders as needed to maintain consistent subsistence supply chain management supporting veteran healthcare operations across the agency's Amarillo medical facilities.
