About the company
Caviness Beef Packers, LIMITED, operating as Caviness Beef Packers LTD Division, manufactures frozen and fresh beef commodities exclusively for USDA domestic food assistance programs as a prime contractor across 444 definitive contracts, all awarded full-and-open with no set-aside designations despite solicitations frequently reserving portions for small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business categories. The company is a for-profit partnership or limited liability partnership headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, with production facilities in Timbercreek Canyon, Texas. Caviness operates under NAICS 311612 (Meat Processed from Carcasses) and PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish); all work is performed in-house with zero subcontract engagement and a 100 percent prime-contract posture.
Caviness manufactures frozen and fresh beef products in standardized formats for federal food donations: coarse ground beef in 60-pound containers, fine ground beef in 40-pound cartons and 1-pound packages, beef patties at 85/15, 90/10, and 100% lean ratios in 40-pound cartons, and boneless special trim beef in 60-pound containers. Representative awards include a $21.3 million definitive contract from the Food and Nutrition Service (September 2025) for approximately 19.6 million pounds of mixed beef products (ground, patties, trim) delivered through December 2025; an $18.65 million contract (December 2025) for frozen beef commodities (patties, coarse and fine ground) delivered through March 2026; a $14.527 million contract (June 2026) for frozen and fresh beef products; and a $11.67 million contract (September 2026) for beef patties and boneless special trim. All products are grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States per federal content standards, and all contracts are firm fixed-price terms.
Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 302 awards (765.3 million dollars combined potential value, 76% of portfolio), with the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office placing 135 awards (240.2 million dollars, 24% of portfolio). The remaining three USDA sub-offices (Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office, Specialty Crops Program, and Agricultural Marketing Service) collectively represent less than one percent of awards and value. This vendor serves a single customer agency across highly fragmented commodity procurement solicitations.
Caviness maintains a 100 percent prime-contract footprint with no parent vehicles, IDIQs, BPAs, or GWACs in the source data. Each award is a standalone definitive contract issued by either the Food and Nutrition Service or the Agricultural Marketing Service in response to individual solicitations for specific commodity quantities and delivery windows, typically with performance periods of one to four months and ultimate completion dates ranging from 2022 through October 2026. The vendor competes exclusively on full-and-open basis despite recurring small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides in many of the underlying solicitations.
Activity has remained consistent at 15–30 awards per year over the past five years, with 2024 marking a peak (30 awards) and 2026 tracking at nine awards year-to-date as of mid-October. Four awards with combined potential value of $36.5 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and are therefore at recompete risk. The vendor's cumulative federal contract value since at least 2019 exceeds $300 million according to source summaries; recent annual volumes ($170–$200 million in potential value per year) suggest sustained high-volume commodity supply relationships. The vendor has held a long-standing federal supplier relationship with USDA for over 60 years as a family-owned beef packing operation, competing on price and delivery capability in open commodity procurement markets without SBA designations or small business set-asides.
