About the company

Dean Foods Company, through its subsidiary Southern Foods Group, LLC (doing business as Meadow Gold Dairy in Hawaii), is a major supplier of dairy products to the U.S. federal government, primarily serving military operations in the Pacific region. The company provides a wide range of dairy items including milk (low-fat, reduced fat, whole, chocolate, and extended shelf-life), cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, heavy cream, and frozen desserts such as ice cream and novelties. Dean Foods Company, founded in 1925, was one of the largest processors and distributors of dairy products in the United States before its bankruptcy and subsequent acquisition by Dairy Farmers of America in 2020. Despite these changes, its subsidiary Southern Foods Group continues to operate and fulfill government contracts.

The majority of Dean Foods Company's federal contract awards are firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Pacific. These contracts support military dining facilities, exchanges, commissaries, and other operations in Hilo, Hawaii and the broader Pacific region. The company regularly fulfills short-term delivery orders ranging from small purchases of a few hundred dollars to larger awards exceeding $10,000. Notable products supplied include various types of milk, cottage cheese, yogurt (including non-fat and flavored varieties), sour cream, and frozen desserts like ice cream sandwiches and novelties. These contracts are typically awarded through full and open competition without set-aside designations, leveraging the company's long-standing expertise in dairy manufacturing and distribution.

Dean Foods Company, through its subsidiary Model Dairy, LLC, holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDV) with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence. This single-award contract, valued at $250,000, was issued to supply fresh milk and dairy products to military customers in Bridgeport, California, with performance occurring between August 13, 2020, and August 13, 2022. Under this IDV, Model Dairy has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for products such as reduced fat chocolate milk, low fat chocolate milk, yogurt, and ice cream. Delivery locations include Reno, Nevada, with order values ranging from $15 to $250. This contract supports the DLA's mission to provide subsistence items and related services to armed forces dining facilities and customers, demonstrating Dean Foods Company's continued role in supplying essential dairy products to military operations despite its corporate restructuring.
