About the company
Edesia, Inc. (Edesia LLC Division), a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, manufactures and supplies ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF), and lipid-based nutrient supplements to the U.S. federal government as a prime contractor exclusively. The company competes on full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across all award activity; federal purchasing agencies recognize Edesia's specialized manufacturing capacity as sole or near-sole source for these complex therapeutic food products.
Edesia's customer base concentrates heavily with the U.S. Agency for International Development, which accounts for 78 of 111 total awards (70% of all federal activity) and $199.5 million of the combined $239 million potential value (83% by dollars). The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency's Kansas City Commodity Office places 19 awards valued at $19.2 million—primarily for ready-to-use supplementary food pouches supporting U.S. government international food donations—while the Foreign Agricultural Service holds 8 awards worth $13.8 million for similar commodity procurements. USAID's Washington Office represents an additional $6.1 million across 3 awards. Edesia's customer concentration and award volume have grown year over year, with 32 awards in 2024 compared to 23 in 2022; however, 2025 and 2026 show only 14 combined awards to date, reflecting the lumpiness of humanitarian procurement. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $14.9 million reach completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest near-term recompete exposure.
Edesia's primary federal vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA 7200AA22A00002) with USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, valued at over $80 million and running through December 31, 2027. The source identifies this BPA as generating 76 of the 78 USAID task orders, with combined potential value of $205.7 million. Individual task orders under the BPA have ranged from $127,680 to $4,977,500; recent calls (September 2025 through June 2026) procure metric-ton quantities of RUTF and RUSF destined for UNICEF, the World Food Programme, and other international humanitarian organizations in Yemen, Sudan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Syria, Haiti, Kenya, Pakistan, Madagascar, and Chad. USDA's definitive contracts (effective May and June 2026) procure ready-to-use supplementary food pouches in 150-gram and 300-gram formats from manufacturing locations in Dayton and South Brunswick Township, New Jersey, and Elizabeth, New Jersey, for emergency food donation commodities under NAICS 311212 (Rice Milling) and PSC 8945 (Food, Oils and Fats).
Edesia also holds a federal grant award from USAID's Office of the Chief Financial Officer (October 2023, completion September 2025) for ocean freight fiscal year 2024/2025, supporting logistics for humanitarian shipments. The company's portfolio reflects specialization in fortified, nutrient-dense peanut-based and blended food formulations—RUTF addresses severe acute malnutrition, RUSF provides supplementary nutrition for moderate acute malnutrition, and lipid-nutrient supplements deliver concentrated micronutrients. Manufacturing takes place at the North Kingstown facility and subordinate locations in New Jersey. The firm-fixed-price structure and absence of set-aside competition across all awards indicate that Edesia's technical and manufacturing capabilities position it as a de facto single source or near-monopoly supplier for specialized humanitarian nutrition products to the federal government.
The source identifies two subsidiaries: Edesia Industries LLC (for-profit) and Edesia Enterprises, LLC (non-profit). The parent entity's tax-exempt status reflects its humanitarian mission; no additional detail on subsidiary roles or cross-ownership is provided in the source.
