Guidry Liason Group, Inc.

Guidry Liason Group, Inc., operating through its Liason International Division and doing business as Guidry Liason Group Inc., is a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Temecula, California, that supplies agricultural commodities and packaged food products to the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation and Black American-owned entity that competes across both set-aside and full-and-open procurements, with set-aside categories (Total Small Business, Partial Small Business) recurring across roughly 60% of its prime contract awards.

Guidry Liason Group's capability portfolio centers on sourcing and delivering commodity foods and agricultural products for domestic and international federal food assistance programs. The company specializes in nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, pistachios), dried fruits (cranberries, dates, raisins, cherries, figs, plums), legumes (pinto beans, black beans, split peas, raw shelled peanuts), vegetable oils, pasta products, frozen prepared foods (whole wheat pancakes), and specialty butters (peanut butter, sunflower seed butter) meeting strict federal specifications and domestic content requirements. Representative work includes a $15.3 million Partial Small Business set-aside contract with the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service for roasted whole shell almonds in 12/2 lb packages to support domestic food assistance (February 2024); a $6.45 million Total Small Business set-aside with USDA Agricultural Marketing Service for shelled hazelnuts (January 2023); and a $2.96 million Partial Small Business set-aside for roasted whole shell almonds with the same customer (February 2024). Most contracts carry firm fixed-price definitive awards ranging from roughly $20 thousand to over $15 million, with delivery to multiple locations across the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and offshore territories.

Customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of Agriculture. The top five funding agencies account for 75% of recent awards by count and 84% by combined potential value. USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office anchors the dollar concentration with 94 awards worth $147.2 million combined potential value, while USDA Food and Nutrition Service leads by award count with 345 awards ($71.7 million combined potential value). USDA Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office contributes 159 awards ($49.5 million), and the Foreign Agricultural Service accounts for 41 awards ($7.2 million). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New Orleans is a smaller secondary customer with 65 awards ($2.6 million). The vendor also serves USDA Livestock Poultry and Seed Program and other smaller USDA offices.

Guidry Liason Group places orders across several indefinite delivery contracts as the prime contractor. The largest parent vehicle is IDIQ contract DACW2903D0035 with 42 task orders; the vendor also operates under Army IDIQs W912P806D0068 (17 task orders, $123 thousand combined), W912P807D0038 (16 task orders, $441 thousand), and W912P805D0021 (15 task orders), plus USDA contract AGDPDVVDOD07349 (10 task orders, $1.7 million). These vehicles represent recurring task-order platforms rather than GSA or governmentwide structures; the vendor competes predominantly through direct USDA solicitations and commodity procurement programs rather than through multiagency IDIQs.

Activity has declined modestly over the past five years. The vendor received 26 awards in 2022, 28 in 2023, then dropped to 15 each in 2024 and 2025, with 12 awards recorded so far in 2026. Five awards (combined potential value $4.6 million) have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete risk. The vendor holds no subcontractor position and does not serve as a sub-awardee; the award portfolio is 100% prime contracts across 937 awards since 2003, with combined potential value of $331.9 million and combined dollars obligated of $330.4 million.

The vendor's NAICS footprint reflects commodity sourcing and wholesale distribution: Other Farm Product Raw Material Merchant Wholesalers (200 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (136 awards), General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (100 awards), and Roasted Nuts and Peanut Butter Manufacturing (89 awards) comprise the top categories. PSC codes track similarly, with Fruits and Vegetables (407 awards), Bakery and Cereal Products (225 awards), and Meat, Poultry, and Fish (116 awards) leading. The vendor has maintained System for Award Management registration since January 2002, establishing two decades of continuous federal contracting experience in agricultural commodity supply for USDA food assistance, nutrition, and international food aid missions.
