About CHS Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

CHS Inc., a large Minnesota-based agricultural cooperative headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, competes as a full-and-open prime contractor supplying bulk agricultural commodities and fuel to the federal government, with no reliance on set-asides across its 330 prime federal awards. The company serves 23 distinct agencies, but customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture's Kansas City Commodity Office alone accounts for 75 awards and $695.5 million of the vendor's combined $815.4 million potential value across all awards—approximately 85% of the portfolio by dollar magnitude. CHS Inc. acts exclusively as a prime contractor; the source reports zero sub-award activity.

CHS Inc.'s core federal capability is bulk commodity procurement for USDA food donation and assistance programs. Representative work includes a $29.65 million definitive contract from Kansas City Commodity Office in September 2024 for soft white bulk wheat, a $22.99 million February 2026 award for yellow bulk soybeans to Kalama, Washington, and a $27.42 million March 2023 contract for mixed hard red winter and northern spring wheat bulk. The company also fulfills smaller, commodity-specific orders: a $20.46 million February 2026 soybean contract, a $13.61 million June 2025 sorghum order, and a $261,912 June 2023 lentil delivery from its Othello, Washington facility. Beyond commodity supply, CHS Inc. has supplied fuel to Department of the Interior National Park Service locations (Badlands National Park at $17,640 in December 2023 and $2,600 in August 2023) and to Indian Health Service facilities ($20,043 for propane to IHS Kyle Health Center in January 2024, $6,768 for propane to IHS Wanblee Health Center in February 2024). A single anomalous award went to Federal Correctional Institution El Reno for fertilizer and application services ($41,715 in August 2024 under Total Small Business set-aside).

Performance locations center on Texas (Houston, 77015) and Washington (Kalama) for commodity storage and delivery, with some awards specifying St. Paul, Minnesota and Portland, Oregon. All recent commodity contracts carry firm fixed-price terms and performance windows of one to four months, reflecting the just-in-time nature of bulk commodity procurement for food assistance programs.

CHS Inc. holds two single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 6: a $245,000 ceiling BPA effective May 30, 2023 through May 21, 2028 for bulk fuel and related products at Northeast Rainwater Basin Wildlife Management District, and a $200,000 ceiling BPA effective June 24, 2022 through June 30, 2027 for fuel supply to South Dakota Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge. These are the only parent vehicle positions in the source; the vendor does not sit on GWACs or government-wide IDIQs.

CHS Inc. also operates as a federal grant recipient under the USDA's Biofuel Producer Program (CFDA 10.378), administering COVID-19 relief to biofuel producers. The company received a $12.51 million Project Grant from the Rural Business Cooperative Services on May 5, 2022 (performance through May 5, 2024) and a $776,308 Project Grant on May 26, 2023 (performance through May 26, 2025). These grants support financial recovery for biofuel producers affected by pandemic-related market losses and do not represent service delivery to agencies.

Activity has decelerated significantly in the past two years: 13 awards in 2022, 17 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 7 in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award with an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months appears in the source, carrying $6.5 million in potential value and therefore representing minimal recompete exposure. The source's award history spans back to July 1991, indicating a long-established vendor relationship with USDA commodity programs.

The vendor's named corporate structure includes Patriot Renewable Fuels LLC, Patriot Fuels Biodiesel LLC, Ardent Mills LLC (a large flour and meal milling operation), and Centrol Crop Consulting Inc., reflecting diversification into renewable energy and agricultural services beyond commodity trading.
