About the company
Blue Diamond Growers, a for-profit agricultural manufacturer and grower headquartered in Sacramento, California, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Agriculture to develop export markets and value-added almond products; the vendor does not compete for federal contracts and operates entirely through grant awards.
Blue Diamond Growers' federal footprint consists of 19 awards since 1981, all held as prime recipient (100%), with no federal contract work or subcontract engagement. The vendor's customer concentration sits entirely within the Department of Agriculture across five distinct sub-offices. Rural Business Cooperative Services accounts for the largest share with 7 awards focused on value-added agricultural product market development and producer grants. The Agricultural Marketing Service awarded 4 grants, the Foreign Agricultural Service (Food for Education program) awarded 2 grants, and the Farm Service Agency's Kansas City Commodity Office awarded 1 grant. The Defense Logistics Agency placed 5 awards, all task orders under a single Basic Ordering Agreement (DLA13H8150090), though these awards appear to be commodity supply or procurement work rather than grant assistance.
Recent grant work centers on almond-market expansion and climate-smart agriculture. Blue Diamond Growers received a $1 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service on April 30, 2026, under the Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (CFDA 10.618) to develop, maintain, and expand commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural commodities through September 30, 2028. On September 3, 2025, the vendor received a $250,000 Value-Added Producer Grant (CFDA 10.352) from Rural Business Cooperative Services to develop new almond-based value-added products and expand marketing opportunities, with sub-partnerships including Pollinator Partnership and Project Apis M; completion is September 3, 2027. On April 25, 2023, the vendor received a project grant to expand markets for climate-smart almonds in California and support farmer implementation and monitoring of climate-smart practices, running through March 30, 2028. Prior grant work included a $250,000 Value-Added Producer Grant from Rural Business Cooperative Services (awarded September 19, 2022) and COVID-19 relief funding from the Agricultural Marketing Service for workplace safety and market-pivot costs (awarded January 3, 2022).
Three awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and represent recompete opportunity. Combined potential value across all 19 awards is $60.4 million across federal sources spanning decades; recent activity (2022–2026) shows one award per year, indicating a stable but low-volume federal grant footprint concentrated in agricultural market development, value-added product expansion, and commodity supply to the Defense Logistics Agency.
