Model Dairy, LLC

Model Dairy, LLC, operating as Nevada Dairy LLC, supplies fresh milk and dairy products to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on a series of small, recurring delivery orders with no set-aside designation. The vendor is a for-profit limited liability company and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Reno, Nevada, specializing in yogurt, milk, ice cream, and related refrigerated and frozen dairy products sold through indefinite delivery contracts to federal agencies.

Model Dairy operates as a pure-play dairy supplier focused on two customer agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 accounts for 6 awards and $373 thousand in combined potential value; the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 222 awards and $282 thousand combined potential value — together representing 100% of the vendor's federal footprint. This customer concentration masks a structural divide: the DLA relationship generates high-volume, low-value delivery orders (typically $25 to $435 per order), while the VA relationship anchors larger annual contract ceilings ($24.5 thousand to $39.9 thousand per delivery order period). Combined potential value across all 228 awards is $655 thousand, with $180 thousand (27%) obligated to date; activity peaked in 2024 with 94 awards and has contracted sharply to 36 in 2025 and 1 in 2026.

The vendor holds two single-award indefinite delivery contracts. The DLA Troop Support Subsistence IDC (SPE30022DV016, $250 thousand ceiling, August 2022–August 2025) has generated 221 task orders for recurring subsistence items — primarily strawberry banana regular yogurt, nonfat blueberry yogurt, reduced-fat milk, and frozen vanilla and chocolate ice cream — delivered to military customers in the western United States. The VA Veterans Health Administration IDC (36C26122D0055, $225 thousand ceiling, January 2022–January 2027) has generated 5 task orders to supply the Reno VA Medical Center. Place of performance for all awards is Reno, Nevada. The DLA contract approaches expiration in August 2025; combined recompete exposure for awards completing in the next twenty-four months stands at $80 thousand. Model Dairy competes in full-and-open procurement; no team relationships or subcontractor engagement appears in the source data. The vendor's entire business reflects a local dairy manufacturer's direct supply relationship with two legacy federal customers, sustained through sole-source and single-award contracting vehicles rather than government-wide acquisition or multiple-award competitive vehicles.
