About the company
Basic American Inc., doing business as Basic American Foods, manufactures and supplies dehydrated potato flakes packaged in 1-pound bags to the Department of Agriculture and Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on definitive commodity procurement contracts, competing full-and-open with no set-aside designation. The Blackfoot, Idaho-based for-profit manufacturer operates exclusively in the prime contracting role (100% of recent awards) under NAICS 311423 (Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing) and PSC code 8940 (Special Dietary Foods and Food Specialty Preparations).
Basic American Foods' customer concentration is heavily weighted toward USDA domestic food assistance and commodity procurement programs. The top five funding agencies account for 72% of awards by count, led by the Defense Logistics Agency (73 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (41 awards, $48 million combined potential value). The rankings diverge markedly on dollar concentration: USDA FNS dominates the potential-value pool at $48 million, followed by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office ($22.6 million on 7 awards) and Defense Commissary Agency ($12.2 million on 10 awards). Recent representative awards include a $2.2 million firm fixed-price delivery of dehydrated potato flakes to USDA FNS on August 12, 2026 (completion December 31, 2026), a $2.16 million May 2026 contract with FNS for dehydrated potato flakes (completion September 30, 2026), and a $1.73 million December 2025 contract with FNS completing March 31, 2026. Basic American Foods also holds task order authority under Basic Ordering Agreement HDEC0110G4087 (9 task orders, $2.2 million combined potential value) and several Defense Logistics Agency indefinite delivery contracts. Activity has remained modest in recent years — four awards in 2022, one in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and two through August 2026 — with only one award ($1.8 million combined potential value) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates with no subcontractor footprint and does not hold memberships on major government-wide acquisition vehicles or GSA Schedules.
