By dollar value, Defense Commissary Agency anchors the portfolio at $299.6 million across 97 awards, followed by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office at $181.9 million across 59 awards, and the USDA Food and Nutrition Service at $178.5 million across 158 awards. The company has worked with eleven distinct federal agencies; USDA agencies dominate the dollar concentration.

Representative work centers on frozen pork commodity delivery to USDA food assistance programs. Recent contracts include a $3.022 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service on July 16, 2026, for frozen pork roast legs and boneless pork picnics in 32–40 and 60-pound containers, respectively, for delivery to Worthington, Minnesota by September 30, 2026; a $1.529 million contract from the same agency on September 10, 2026, for pork roast leg and boneless pork picnic frozen commodities with completion by December 31, 2026; and a $504,000 contract from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service on September 28, 2026, for frozen pork ham products with ultimate completion on March 15, 2027. Across the portfolio, JBS holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with USDA agencies carrying ceiling values ranging from $11.1 million to $16.6 million, enabling recurring task orders for frozen pork products distributed through food banks, school lunch programs, and nutrition assistance initiatives across the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Activity has remained relatively steady over the past five years—15 awards in 2022 increasing to 19 in 2023, then declining to 14 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 9 in 2026 year to date as of late September. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $4.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure in the immediate window. The top parent vehicles are multiple indefinite delivery contracts with USDA and Defense Commissary Agency, including USDA IDC HDEC0106G6659 (15 task orders, $82.4 million combined potential value), USDA IDC SP030095DM006 (15 task orders), Defense Commissary Agency IDC DECA0203D0003 (11 task orders, $101.4 million combined potential value), and Defense Commissary Agency IDC DECA0201D0022 (11 task orders, $85.7 million combined potential value).

JBS performs all work as a prime contractor with no subcontractors identified across the award portfolio, sourcing frozen pork products directly from its processing facilities in Worthington and Marshalltown, Minnesota; Manawa and Ottumwa, Iowa; Pipestone, Minnesota; and Greeley, Colorado. The company maintains an active SAM.gov registration dating to February 2002 and has consistently fulfilled prime commodity supply roles for over two decades without shifting to teaming or subcontracting arrangements on federal work.
