Dairyland Trading Co LLC

Dairyland Trading Co LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and for-profit limited liability company based in De Pere, Wisconsin, manufactures and 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 (100% of recent awards), competing full-and-open without set-aside designations across its prime portfolio. The vendor operates exclusively under USDA commodity procurement programs serving domestic food assistance initiatives and has not sub-awarded work to other federal contractors.

Dairyland Trading Co LLC holds singular customer concentration with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, which accounts for all 16 awards and $49.7 million in combined potential value across the vendor's recent federal footprint. The vendor operates under two primary indefinite delivery contracts with FNS: an IDC valued at $13.14 million (award date October 16, 2024, ultimate completion December 31, 2025) and a second IDC valued at $12.825 million (award date February 10, 2026, completion June 30, 2027). Against these vehicles, Dairyland has received six delivery orders totaling $12.2 million under the first IDC and two task orders totaling $2.4 million under the second. Representative recent work includes a $4.62 million definitive contract awarded September 17, 2024, for approximately 1.88 million pounds of natural American cheddar cheese with ultimate delivery by November 30, 2024; a $2.22 million definitive contract awarded December 23, 2025, for 40,800 barrels with completion by March 15, 2026; and a $1.5 million delivery order awarded May 5, 2026, for 40,800 barrels with completion by July 31, 2026. All contracts carry fixed-price structures with economic price adjustment provisions, and performance takes place at Litchfield, Minnesota.

Activity has grown from one award in 2023 to six in both 2024 and 2025, with three awards issued in 2026 year-to-date. Only one award ($1.5 million) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Obligated spending stands at $23.7 million against $49.7 million in combined potential value, reflecting approximately 48% drawdown across the vendor's active contracts. The vendor's capability footprint is narrowly focused on commodity cheese production and delivery; all 16 awards fall under NAICS Cheese Manufacturing and PSC Dairy Foods and Eggs, with no diversification into adjacent product lines or customer agencies.
