Paseo Cargill Energy LLC

Paseo Cargill Energy LLC, doing business as Cargill Inc., is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer based in Kansas City, Missouri, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for advanced biofuel production under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (CFDA 10.867). The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint; all seventeen awards in the source derive from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services as direct project grants supporting renewable biomass-to-fuel conversion operations.

Paseo Cargill Energy LLC's federal activity is narrowly concentrated in a single customer agency. The Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Services accounts for 100% of recorded awards (17 total, $12.5 million combined obligated value). The vendor has received annual project grants since 2020 under the Advanced Biofuels program, with recent awards including $340,197.47 (January 22, 2026, completion January 23, 2026), $4.8 million (April 2, 2024, completion February 18, 2025), and awards in May 2023 and July 2022. Each grant funds production of advanced biofuels derived from renewable biomass sources in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms for use as transportation fuel alternatives. Grant funding is calculated based on documented quarterly production volumes converted to British Thermal Unit values. The vendor's facility operates in Missouri, where the grants support direct production capacity expansion.

Activity is flat to declining, with one award per year in 2021 through 2024, and one award in 2026 to date. The vendor has no presence on federal contract vehicles, no subcontract relationships, and no contract prime awards — its federal footprint is entirely grant-dependent and concentrated with a single grantor agency within USDA.
