About the company
Associated Milk Producers Inc., doing business as Ampi, is a for-profit dairy cooperative that manufactures and delivers cheese and dairy commodities exclusively to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designations. Headquartered in New Ulm, Minnesota, Ampi operates under NAICS 311512 (Cheese Manufacturing) and PSC 8910 (Dairy Foods and Eggs), with production facilities in Paynesville and Sanborn, Iowa; Portage, Wisconsin; and New Ulm, Minnesota.
Ampi's federal footprint is dominated by commodity procurement for domestic food assistance. The cooperative supplies natural American cheese in 500-pound barrels, shredded cheddar cheese in various bag formats (6/5-pound and 6/2-pound units), processed cheese loaves, and butter to support USDA food donation programs. Recent representative work includes a $6.06 million delivery order awarded September 22, 2026 by the Food and Nutrition Service for natural American cheese barrels (Paynesville facility, December 2026 completion), a $928 thousand order for shredded cheddar cheese (Portage facility, December 2026 completion), and an $8.08 million definitive contract awarded April 15, 2026 by the Agricultural Marketing Service for shredded yellow cheddar and processed yellow sliced cheese (Portage facility, December 2026 completion). All awards use fixed-price with economic price adjustment pricing to accommodate commodity market volatility.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 446 of 579 awards (77% of volume) and $1.4 billion of the $1.57 billion combined potential value (89% of dollars). The Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office places 20 awards ($153.5 million), while the Defense Logistics Agency carries 45 awards with unspecified values. FNS represents approximately 91 percent of Ampi's federal opportunity, and no subcontractors are identified across the entire federal footprint—Ampi operates as a pure prime in all roles.
Ampi holds multiple active indefinite delivery contracts anchoring its federal position. The largest recent IDCs include a $103.7 million contract (February 2026, Food and Nutrition Service, shredded cheddar and natural American cheese through June 30, 2027), a $65.8 million contract (October 2024, natural American cheese barrels through December 31, 2025), and a $90 million contract (January 2023, natural American cheese and shredded cheddar through December 2023, with delivery orders spanning $90,000 to $6.1 million). A $14.1 million IDC covers processed cheese products (February 2026 through June 30, 2027). These vehicles support recurring quarterly to semi-annual delivery orders ranging from $77,000 to $25.9 million. Ampi also holds a $500,000 Rural Energy for America Program grant (March 2024, two-year term) and received $2.57 million in Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program cooperative agreement funds (January 2022) to distribute relief to eligible dairy farmers.
Activity has grown modestly year over year—22 awards in 2022 to 39 in 2024, with 38 awards to date in 2026—but recompete exposure is concentrated. Fourteen awards (combined potential value $35.1 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete risk. The cooperative competes without set-asides against other full-and-open commercial suppliers and has maintained continuity through 2026 delivery orders across three primary production locations.
