Dan-Ed Corporation

Dan-Ed Corporation's Guers Dairy division, based in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, supplies fluid milk and dairy products to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and is a veteran-owned business competing exclusively in the small business set-aside category across its federal footprint.

Guers Dairy's federal work is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Schuylkill. All thirty prime awards on record, totaling $878 thousand in combined potential value, are quarterly purchase orders for milk products—primarily half-pint containers of kosher nonfat milk, low-fat and fat-free cottage cheese, and sour cream—delivered to the Schuylkill facility in Minersville and Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. Representative awards include a $36,918 total small business purchase order (September 2023) for first-quarter fiscal 2024 milk products, a $33,510 award (July 2024) for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 milk products, and a $27,337.50 purchase order (April 2026) for 218,400 half-pint containers of kosher nonfat milk and dairy products with performance through June 30, 2026. All work is commercial acquisition under FAR Part 12, firm fixed-price, with quarterly performance cycles. The primary NAICS coding is 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing); PSC coding is Dairy Foods and Eggs.

Activity has been episodic rather than growth-oriented: three awards in 2021, four in 2022, six in 2023, two in 2024, and one award (most recently dated April 2026) visible in the current fiscal year. The vendor has served FCI Schuylkill consistently since at least 2015, demonstrating long-standing supplier relationships with the Bureau of Prisons food service program. Because all awards are quarterly purchase orders with typical completion dates between three and twelve months from issuance, the entire award portfolio is subject to annual recompete; the two awards from 2024 and the single 2026 award represent the near-term recompete exposure. Guers Dairy operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and no parent vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs in its award history—all work flows directly from FCI Schuylkill purchase requisitions.
