Dairyland Trading Co LLC

Dairyland Trading Co LLC, a Wisconsin-based dairy manufacturer, supplies natural American cheddar cheese in 500-pound barrels to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service as a prime contractor on indefinite delivery contracts and task orders, competing full-and-open without small business set-asides. The company is a self-certified small disadvantaged business structured as a for-profit limited liability partnership, headquartered in De Pere, Wisconsin, with all federal work performed at Litchfield, Minnesota.

Dairyland's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in commodity cheese procurement for domestic food assistance programs. The vendor holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with the Food and Nutrition Service: a $13.14 million multiple-award IDIQ (ultimate completion December 31, 2025) and a $12.825 million multiple-award IDIQ (ultimate completion June 30, 2027). Recent representative task orders include a $1.503 million delivery order (May 5, 2026) for 40,800 barrels of natural American cheddar, a $3.698 million delivery order (November 8, 2024) for similar quantities, and a $4.621 million definitive contract (September 17, 2024) for 1.88 million pounds of cheese in barrels. All contracts carry fixed-price structures with economic price adjustment provisions. The vendor's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for all 21 awards across the past four years, representing the full $53 million in combined potential value.

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to eight awards in 2026, reflecting deepening reliance on Dairyland as a commodity supplier. The vendor placed six delivery orders under the $13.14 million IDIQ between December 2024 and July 2026, and six more orders under the $12.825 million IDIQ between February and September 2026. Two awards (combined potential value $1.3 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, positioning the vendor for recompete activity on commodity procurement cycles. Dairyland operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract activity; all work is classified under NAICS 311513 (Cheese Manufacturing) and PSC code Dairy Foods and Eggs. The vendor has obligated $25.5 million across the $53 million potential value, indicating active execution of awarded task orders against its indefinite delivery vehicles.
