Bay Valley Foods LLC

Bay Valley Foods LLC, a for-profit food manufacturer based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, supplies cereal, grain, and cracker commodities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designation. The company operates 100% as a prime — it does not subcontract — and competes exclusively within USDA's commodity procurement programs for domestic food assistance.

Bay Valley Foods' customer footprint is entirely concentrated within the Department of Agriculture. The Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 105 awards (99% of recent activity) totaling $112.2 million in combined potential value, while the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office holds 10 awards valued at $71.3 million. A single Defense Logistics Agency award rounds out a minimal diversification signal. The top two USDA divisions cover all meaningful volume: Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service dominate both award count and dollar share. Representative contract work includes a $2.68 million firm-fixed-price definitive contract from FNS for 2,000,010 units of 18-ounce rolled-oats packages (awarded May 9, 2024, completion December 31, 2024); a $933.5 million order for 2,000 cases of 18-ounce rolled oats (awarded November 22, 2024, completion June 30, 2025); and a $267.7 thousand definitive contract for rolled oats in 2,000-ounce packages for USG food donations (awarded May 12, 2026, completion November 15, 2026). The company also holds a multi-year indefinite delivery vehicle with FNS valued at approximately $26.1 million, which underpins repeat commodity task orders. Solicitations consistently reference NAICS 311812 (Breakfast Cereal Manufacturing) and PSC 8910 (Bakery and Cereal Products).

Activity volume is declining: four awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 117 awards stands at $183.5 million with $128.8 million obligated. Only one award with a combined potential value of $268 thousand faces recompete within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal near-term recompete exposure. Manufacturing and distribution operations span multiple facilities: Cedar Rapids and Princeton in Kentucky, Sparks in Nevada, and Lancaster in Ohio represent named places of performance across the award set. Bay Valley Foods competes as an unrestricted contractor in all instances — no small business set-asides, 8(a) designations, or other preferential categories appear in the source data. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on packaged breakfast cereals, rolled oats, unsalted crackers, wheat bran flakes, shredded wheat, corn flakes, rice cereals, corn rice biscuits, oat circles, and dry pasta products destined for USDA food-insecurity-relief distribution.
