About the company
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (a division of the State of South Carolina) operates as a federal grant recipient and a limited federal contract prime, delivering food safety inspections, regulatory compliance support, and agricultural marketing services to USDA and FDA programs. The agency is a U.S. state government entity structured as a child of the parent State of South Carolina and competes in full-and-open (no set-asides). Recent work is nearly entirely grant-funded rather than contract-based; prime awards comprise 98% of the footprint, with only two sub-awards across 132 recent federal transactions.
SCDA's customer concentration reflects its role in state-administered federal food and agriculture programs. The top five funding entities account for 81% of awards by count: the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service (42 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (25 awards), the Food and Drug Administration (22 awards, $3.3 million combined potential value), the FDA's separate award stream (10 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (8 awards). Dollars obligated significantly exceed potential value, indicating formula grants and ongoing multi-year cooperative agreements. The FDA and USDA dominate both volume and potential value — about 97% of combined potential value flows through those two agencies across food safety, emergency food assistance, and agricultural marketing programs.
SCDA's capability footprint centers on food safety regulation and emergency food assistance administration. Recent representative work includes a $533,792.65 definitive contract with FDA (awarded September 30, 2026) for human food state inspections in South Carolina through September 29, 2031; a $723,658 FDA cooperative agreement (awarded September 20, 2025, CFDA 93.103) to maintain the Animal Food Regulatory Program Standards with five dedicated feed safety personnel through June 30, 2028; and a $1.339 million Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) administrative-costs formula grant (awarded October 1, 2025, CFDA 10.568) to support storage and distribution of TEFAP commodities. SCDA also delivers specialty crop research and marketing work, including a $648,630.90 Specialty Crop Block Grant (awarded September 30, 2025, CFDA 10.170) funding ten research projects and six education and outreach projects in partnership with Clemson University and the College of Charleston on crops including peaches, watermelon, strawberries, and leafy greens.
Activity trajectory shows moderate volatility: 13 awards in 2022, declining to 6 in 2024, then recovering to 10 in 2025. The most recent award (September 30, 2026) was a small FDA definitive contract for human food inspections. Fourteen awards with combined potential value of $375 thousand reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing limited recompete exposure in the near term. The portfolio is dominated by recurring formula grants (TEFAP administrative costs, Commodity Supplemental Food Program administrative costs, and specialty crop block grants) and multi-year cooperative agreements with FDA that fund dedicated state personnel and regulatory program maintenance. SCDA sub-awards portions of these grants to Clemson University, the College of Charleston, local food banks, and nonprofit organizations; notably, SCDA also partners with the Catawba Indian Nation on local food purchase programs. Work is performed statewide, with administrative oversight in Columbia, South Carolina.
