About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Dairy Farmers Of America, Inc., doing business as Dairy Farmers Of America, supplies fresh fluid milk, cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, and specialty varieties), and other dairy commodities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no small business set-asides across its federal portfolio. DFA is a for-profit dairy marketing cooperative headquartered in Kansas City, Kansas, representing over 11,500 dairy farmers nationwide, and operates USDA-approved manufacturing facilities across multiple states (Minneapolis, Minnesota; New Britain, Connecticut; Frederick, Maryland; West Middlesex, Pennsylvania; Turlock, California; and other locations). Primary NAICS categories are 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing) and 311512 (Cheese Manufacturing); PSC code 8910 covers most awards (Dairy Foods and Eggs).

DFA's federal work centers exclusively on domestic food assistance commodity procurement. Representative prime contracts include a $517.8 million definitive contract (December 2025, Food and Nutrition Service) for shredded yellow cheddar cheese; a $8.67 million delivery order (August 2023, Agricultural Marketing Service) for shredded yellow cheddar cheese; a $4.67 million delivery order (February 2025, Food and Nutrition Service) for low-moisture mozzarella cheese; and multiple smaller definitive and delivery order awards for fresh fluid milk in 1%, 2%, and whole formulations ranging from $11,000 to $500,000 per award. DFA also holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicles (IDVs) with the USDA Food and Nutrition Service valued at $33.6 million (part-skim mozzarella, awarded September 2022), $10 million (shredded cheese, awarded January 2023), $8.87 million (mozzarella cheese, awarded October 2023), and smaller vehicles for reduced-fat cheddar and other specialty cheese products. DFA received federal grant funding as a recipient under the Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program (PMVAP, CFDA 10.183) and the Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program through the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service and Farm Service Agency, totaling approximately $44.9 million for climate-smart dairy expansion and pandemic relief to dairy farmers between 2021 and 2023.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 646 awards (62% of recent volume) and $869.3 million in combined potential value (91% of total), while the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office holds 193 awards ($66.9 million). Together these two USDA offices account for 98% of DFA's award value. The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency contributes 163 awards but minimal dollar value (pandemic relief disbursements). DFA competes in full-and-open, unrestricted procurements without set-aside designation across all commodity awards; it is not a certified 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, or other SBA-designated firm.

Activity has declined sharply: 78 awards in 2022, 50 in 2023, 33 in 2024, and only 24 awards through August 2026. This trajectory reflects the USDA's shift from spot purchases to larger indefinite delivery vehicles, which consolidate volume into fewer, higher-value awards. Only 5 awards (combined potential value $2.4 million) reach completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure; most DFA work flows through existing IDV vehicles rather than standalone definitive contracts.

DFA operates as a 100% prime contractor (1,041 awards, no subcontract activity recorded). The cooperative structure includes subsidiaries such as DFA Dairy Brands Fluid, LLC (fluid milk operations), Oakhurst Dairy, and DFA Dairy Brands Ice Cream LLC, which handle manufacturing and distribution but do not appear as separate federal awardees. DFA's federal role is commodity supply, not services; place of performance varies by product line but centers on its owned or controlled manufacturing facilities across CONUS, primarily in the Northeast and Midwest.
