About Pilgrim's Pride Corporation
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, doing business as Pilgrim's, is a foreign-owned, for-profit poultry processor supplying chilled and frozen chicken products in bulk to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor exclusively under full-and-open competition, with no subcontracting footprint and no set-aside participation. The company operates as a subsidiary of JBS USA Food Company (UEI: EM8KVXUEYDK8) and is headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, with processing facilities across multiple states including Mt. Pleasant, Texas and Oswego, South Carolina.
Pilgrim's Pride competes almost exclusively in NAICS 311615 (Poultry Processing) under PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish), delivering bulk chilled chicken legs, large chilled chicken, frozen cut-up chicken, and related poultry commodities to federal food assistance programs. The vendor's recent work is entirely commodity supply for the USDA's domestic nutrition initiatives — representative awards include a $1.81 million firm fixed-price definitive contract (March 25, 2026) for large chilled bulk chicken to Oswego, South Carolina supporting the National School Lunch Program and The Emergency Food Assistance Program; a $9.49 million contract (September 15, 2025) for large chilled bulk chicken delivered across the continental United States; and a $5.29 million award (December 11, 2025) for large chilled chicken in bulk, also for national food assistance distribution. All contracts mandate U.S.-origin products, compliance with food defense planning, GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network reporting, and firm fixed-price structures evaluated primarily on pricing.
Customer concentration is singular and vertical. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 627 of 693 awards (90% of total) and approximately 1.02 billion dollars in combined potential value. Within USDA, the Food and Nutrition Service leads with 343 awards valued at $610.5 million, followed by the Agricultural Marketing Service Livestock Poultry and Seed Program with 215 awards valued at $307.9 million, and the AMS Washington Office with 55 awards valued at $82.3 million. The remaining four customer agencies (Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office, AMS regional offices, and one other USDA entity) account for fewer than 30 awards combined. All 693 awards are to the Department of Agriculture or its subordinate agencies; no other federal customer appears in the award portfolio.
Award volume has remained stable year over year — 18 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 17 in 2024, 18 in 2025, and 7 through June 2026 — with a combined potential value of $1.08 billion, of which the full amount has been obligated. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying $438 thousand in potential value and representing minimal recompete exposure. The vendor has no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in its portfolio; all work flows through individual definitive contracts issued via competitive solicitations under FAR Part 12 (commercial items), primarily by the Agricultural Marketing Service Commodity Procurement Program.
Pilgrim's Pride operates as a 100% prime contractor with zero subcontracting activity across the award record. The company's entire federal footprint consists of direct commodity supply to USDA food assistance programs — no teaming relationships, no secondary vendor tier, and no capability layering beyond bulk poultry processing and logistics to specified delivery locations across eight U.S. states. The vendor's market posture is commoditized, commodity-contract-focused, full-and-open competition only, and geographically distributed through multiple processing sites to support the USDA's nutrition security mission.
