About the company
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, doing business as Pilgrim's, supplies large-volume chilled and frozen bulk chicken commodities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition with no small business set-asides. The vendor is a foreign-owned, for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, and operates as a subsidiary of JBS USA Food Company; Pilgrim's is classified under NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing) and PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish).
Pilgrim's Pride's federal portfolio consists entirely of definitive contracts for bulk chicken commodities supplied to domestic food assistance programs. The vendor has received 699 prime contracts since 2003, with combined potential value of $1.1 billion and combined dollars obligated matching that full amount — indicating near-complete execution across the portfolio. Recent representative work includes a $8.975 million definitive contract awarded September 24, 2026, by the Food and Nutrition Service for large chilled bulk chicken with place of performance in Oswego, South Carolina; a $5.983 million award on September 2, 2026, for the same commodity type and location; and a $1.81 million contract on February 18, 2026, for chilled chicken legs with performance in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. All contracts carry firm fixed-price terms and support the National School Lunch Program, The Emergency Food Assistance Program, and related USDA nutrition initiatives.
Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 91% of recent awards across six internal sub-offices. The Food and Nutrition Service alone holds 349 awards valued at $634.8 million — slightly more than half the total portfolio. The Agricultural Marketing Service Livestock Poultry and Seed Program holds 215 awards worth $307.9 million. The remaining customer base is negligible: the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (55 awards, $82.3 million) and the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office (8 awards, $13.4 million) round out the active set. Award volume has remained stable across the past five years (13 to 18 awards per year), with 5 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and carrying combined potential value of $18.5 million—a modest recompete exposure relative to portfolio size.
Pilgrim's Pride competes exclusively in full-and-open competition; no awards carry small business set-asides or other SBA designations. The vendor operates no identified subcontractors and receives no sub-award work. Work is performed at two primary facilities: Oswego, South Carolina (large chilled bulk chicken) and Mt. Pleasant, Texas (chilled chicken legs), with FOB delivery to multiple distribution locations across the continental United States. All commodities are sourced from U.S. origin and comply with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements, food defense planning standards, GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network reporting, and stringent container specifications. Pilgrim's Pride's scale as one of the world's largest poultry processors, combined with its multi-state production footprint and consistent execution on commodity delivery timelines, positions the vendor as a quasi-incumbent in the USDA's bulk chicken procurement—a transactional, price-competitive market with limited differentiation.
