About the company
Sargento Foods Inc., a Wisconsin-based dairy manufacturer, supplies commodity cheese products to the federal government as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, with no set-aside designations across its award footprint. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity focused on cheese manufacturing (NAICS 3115) and dairy foods (PSC 8910), competing for commodity procurement contracts rather than professional services or IT solutions.
Sargento's federal customer base is heavily concentrated with the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), which accounts for 154 of 160 recent awards and 93% of the $352.6 million combined potential value across all prime contracts and grants. The remaining four awards flow through the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service ($5.1 million combined potential value), Farm Service Agency, and Agricultural Marketing Service Dairy Program. This concentration reflects Sargento's role as a commodity supplier rather than a systems integrator or services firm — DeCA awards involve task orders for cheese products destined for military commissaries worldwide, while USDA awards support domestic food assistance programs and pandemic relief initiatives. The two customer rankings align nearly perfectly, signaling that DeCA's dominance spans both volume and dollar magnitude.
Sargento places the vast majority of its work under five Defense Commissary Agency indefinite delivery contracts: HDEC0105G3068 (22 task orders, $214.1 million combined potential value), HDEC0109G3818 (14 task orders, $65.4 million), HDEC0104G3006 (22 task orders, $45.4 million), DECA0195G0686 (52 task orders), and DECA0100G2155 (30 task orders). Recent commodity awards include a $2.79 million definitive contract from USDA FNS in July 2023 for mozzarella string cheese (908,730 pounds), a $2.08 million award in August 2024 for 2 million one-ounce string cheese servings, and a $206,667 award in August 2026 for similar string cheese commodities. Sargento also received a $109,166 cooperative agreement from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service under the Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program (CFDA not specified) to distribute pandemic relief payments to eligible dairy farmers and provide dairy policy education.
The vendor has obligated $171.4 million across its awards (49% of potential value), indicating work in active execution. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award totaling $207 thousand completes in that window — reflecting the multi-year structure of DeCA's standing orders. Sargento operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint in the federal space.
