About Lifeline Foods LLC
Lifeline Foods LLC, a for-profit limited liability company based in St. Joseph, Missouri, supplies bagged cornmeal (25-kilogram units) to the Department of Agriculture for U.S. government food assistance and donation programs as a prime contractor under partial small business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of 232 awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing under partial small business reservations that include service-disabled veteran-owned, 8(a), and AbilityOne set-asides, with price evaluation preferences for qualified HUBZone small businesses. Primary NAICS is 311211 (Flour Milling); PSC is 8945 (Food, Oils and Fats).
Lifeline Foods' capability portfolio is narrowly focused on packaged cornmeal commodity supply. Representative recent contracts include a $619,881 firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the Foreign Agricultural Service on June 17, 2026, for cornmeal in 25-kilogram bags to support international food assistance, a $662,317 contract from the Foreign Agricultural Service on June 4, 2026, for the same commodity, and a $250,859 contract from the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office on April 18, 2023, for 200,939 bags of 25-kilogram cornmeal. Historical awards dating to at least 2019 show Lifeline Foods supplying 200,000 to 400,000 pounds of bagged cornmeal annually.
Customer concentration is extreme. The top four USDA offices account for 67% of awards by count and 69% by combined potential value. The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office dominates the relationship—74 awards valued at $42.9 million—while the Foreign Agricultural Service contributes 15 awards at $5.7 million, the Food and Nutrition Service 41 awards at $2.1 million, and the generalist Farm Service Agency 25 awards at $4.3 million. All customer awards are within USDA. The vendor's category concentration is equally narrow: flour milling accounts for 228 of 232 awards; bakery and cereal products (PSC) for 229 of 232.
Activity has been episodic. The source records 232 awards spanning from April 2002 through June 2026, with recent annual volume declining from five awards in 2020 to two in 2023; three awards appear in 2026 to date. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $79.9 million, with $82.7 million obligated (104% of potential, indicating some contract overruns). Two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, representing $1.3 million in combined potential value and therefore minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. The vendor has no recorded subcontract relationships and does not appear on any parent vehicles or GWACs.
