DLF Packing LLC

DLF Packing LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Fort Pierce, Florida, supplies fresh citrus commodities—oranges and grapefruit in 34-39 pound cartons—to the U.S. Department of Agriculture under total small business set-asides, operating exclusively as a prime contractor on definitive firm fixed-price contracts for domestic food assistance programs.

DLF Packing operates as a partnership or limited liability partnership and competes entirely within the total small business set-aside category. All twenty-one prime awards in the source data are designated total small business set-asides under NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing) and PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables). The company's customer base is concentrated within USDA: the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office accounts for sixteen awards valued at $44.1 million combined potential value, while the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service holds five awards valued at $625 thousand, representing 100% of tracked awards. Recent representative work includes five separate definitive contracts awarded September 16, 2026, by USDA AMS for fresh oranges in 34-39 pound cartons valued at $2.334 million, $2.633 million, $2.502 million, $2.707 million, and $2.348 million respectively, all supporting Section 32 food donation programs with ultimate completion dates between December 2, 2026, and June 30, 2027. A grapefruit contract awarded the same day carried $813 thousand in value. Earlier in 2026, DLF Packing held a $2.7 million contract from USDA AMS for fresh citrus delivery to distribution centers across Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas between February and June 2026.

Activity has accelerated sharply: one award in 2022, six in 2023, one in 2024, two in 2025, and nine in 2026 (through mid-September). Six awards carrying combined potential value of $13.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. DLF Packing maintains compliance with USDA commodity standards, including Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices certifications, and fulfills weekly delivery schedules to multiple national distribution centers. The company registered in SAM.gov in October 2020 and has established itself as a consistent supplier of fresh produce to USDA food security initiatives.
