About the company
Lifeline Foods LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in St. Joseph, Missouri, manufactures and supplies fortified cornmeal in 25-kilogram bags to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under partial small business set-asides for international food assistance and domestic food donation programs.
Lifeline Foods operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of 234 awards) with no subcontract activity. The company competes predominantly under partial small business set-asides on USDA commodity procurements; one of nine recent awards (the January 20, 2022 definitive contract from the Kansas City Commodity Office valued at $586,716.30) carried no set-aside designation, suggesting capacity to bid full-and-open when market conditions permit. The vendor's work falls under NAICS 311211 (Flour Milling) and NAICS 311212 (Rice Milling), with PSC codes 8920 (Bakery and Cereal Products) and 8945 (Food, Oils and Fats) dominating the award portfolio — 231 of 234 awards are classified under PSC 8920.
Customer concentration is extreme. Four USDA entities account for 67% of awards by count and 69% of combined potential value across the entire footprint. The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office anchors the relationship, representing 74 awards and $42.9 million in combined potential value — a share that dwarfs all other customers. The Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service contributes 17 awards valued at $6.8 million; the Farm Service Agency (non-Kansas City) contributes 25 awards for $4.3 million; and the Food and Nutrition Service contributes 41 awards for $2.1 million. No other federal agencies appear in the active award set. Representative work includes a July 16, 2026 Foreign Agricultural Service definitive contract for $704,907.30 for cornmeal in 25-kilogram bags for international food donations, a June 4, 2026 Foreign Agricultural Service award of $662,317.20 for the same commodity, a May 20, 2026 Kansas City Commodity Office contract of $380,735.20, and a February 1, 2022 Kansas City Commodity Office order of $292,701.60 for two hundred thousand eight hundred twenty-six bags of 25-kilogram cornmeal. All awards are firm fixed-price definitive contracts with performance at St. Joseph, Missouri.
Activity has declined from 2020 levels (five awards that year) to near-dormancy in 2021–2023 (three, three, and two awards respectively), with a partial rebound in 2026 (five awards in the first seven months). Combined obligated dollars ($83.7 million) exceed combined potential value ($81 million) by 103%, suggesting the portfolio includes closed or completed awards where final invoiced amounts exceeded contract ceilings. The entire visible award set consists of commodity contracts for a single product — bagged cornmeal — supplied to a single customer cluster (USDA commodity programs), leaving the vendor highly concentrated in both customer and product scope.
