About the company
Southeast Milk, Inc., a small agricultural cooperative based in Lake City, Florida, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Agriculture, distributing pandemic relief assistance to dairy farmers and managing agricultural cooperative programs without subcontract involvement in its grant work.
Southeast Milk operates as a parent corporate entity with one named subsidiary, Gustafson's, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and goods manufacturer organized as a limited liability company. The vendor's federal footprint centers on grant work rather than contracts; it holds no federal contract vehicles and has not served as a federal contract prime.
The source names five total awards spanning 2010 through October 2025, with four prime grants (80% of awards) and one sub-grant (20%). Combined obligated dollars total $11 million across three Department of Agriculture customer units. The top two funding sources are the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services (two awards) and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service (three awards combined, including one under the Dairy Program sub-office). All three customer units account for 100% of recent awards.
Representative prime grant work includes two Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program (PMVAP, CFDA #10.183) cooperative agreements from the Agricultural Marketing Service. The first, awarded December 22, 2021, carried a $6.685 million award to distribute pandemic relief to eligible dairy farmers in Florida through June 30, 2022. A second PMVAP cooperative agreement, awarded April 11, 2023, ran through December 31, 2024 and required Southeast Milk to disburse assistance, obtain adjusted gross income attestations, issue 1099-MISC forms, document program compliance, and provide dairy policy education to beneficiary producers. Both awards specified dairy farmers whose milk was marketed to Federal Milk Marketing Order regulated handlers during the July–December 2020 pandemic period as intended beneficiaries.
Activity is sparse and episodic — one award every two to five years — with no clear growth trajectory. The most recent award, dated October 15, 2025, is a sub-grant from the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Florida, indicating a shift toward sub-recipient status in program participation work. The vendor's federal engagement appears driven by program-specific opportunities under agricultural assistance mandates rather than ongoing commercial contracting relationships.
