About the company
Loffredo Gardens, Inc., operating through its Loffredo Fresh Foods Division and doing business as Loffredo Fresh Produce Co., supplies fresh produce and eggs to the federal government as a prime contractor on a self-certified small disadvantaged business posture, with the vast majority of its federal footprint concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence indefinite delivery contracts for military and corrections food service operations.
Loffredo is a for-profit manufacturer of goods based in Des Moines, Iowa, with all work performed at that location. The company is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business and competes across the full and open market; recent awards show a mixed set-aside posture, with roughly half of delivery orders under Total Small Business set-asides and half under open competition, reflecting Loffredo's eligibility across both categories. The vendor's federal business centers on perishable food manufacturing (NAICS 311991), with commodity-level procurement across fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and select prepared items. Representative recent work includes a $137,088 total-small-business purchase order from the U.S. Penitentiary Thomson (Administrative Security) in October 2026 for quarterly fresh produce delivery; a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $4.9 million from DLA Troop Support Subsistence awarded September 30, 2025, running through September 29, 2030, for beverages and subsistence food products; and hundreds of individual delivery orders from DLA Subsistence ranging from approximately $200 to $7,966 for apples, oranges, eggs, watermelon, strawberries, carrots, cantaloupe, and other produce items, all firm fixed-price with rapid completion cycles (typically same-day or single-week ultimate completion).
Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 114,726 awards (99.8% of recent award count) and $571.3 million in combined potential value across the past several years. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (Administrative Security US Penitentiary Thomson) follows with 21 awards totaling $1.1 million, and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service represents 7 awards worth $26 million. The two customer-ranking dimensions diverge sharply — DLA dominates both volume and dollars, but USDA's smaller award count carries disproportionate per-award dollar magnitude, likely reflecting longer-term or larger blanket-purchase arrangements supporting school feeding and institutional subsistence programs.
Loffredo's parent-vehicle footprint rests entirely on five DLA indefinite delivery contracts: SPE30018DS722 (45,567 task orders, $26.6 million combined potential value), SPE30023DS760 (45,260 task orders, $25.3 million), SPE30023DSA06 (7,105 task orders, $4.2 million), SPE30025DSA87 (4,876 task orders, $3.5 million), and SPE30022DSA18 (4,477 task orders, $2.2 million). These five vehicles account for the bulk of Loffredo's federal delivery-order pipeline; task orders are small, frequent, and fungible, typical of military food-service procurement. Activity remains substantial but shows a decline trajectory — from 17,838 awards in 2022 to 12,141 in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff is minimal: only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carries $137 thousand in potential value, reflecting the company's heavy reliance on active indefinite delivery vehicles with multi-year runways and continuous replenishment ordering rather than discrete task-order expirations. Loffredo operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
