Supreme Rice, LLC

Supreme Rice, LLC, doing business as Louisiana Rice Mills, is a small-business rice commodity supplier operating as a subsidiary of TRC Group Inc. that serves as a prime contractor exclusively in partial-small-business-set-aside and full-and-open domestic food assistance and international food aid procurement from USDA agencies. The company sources, mills, fortifies, and packages long-grain, medium-grain, brown, and parboiled rice in consumer units through 50-kilogram bulk bags, with operations located in Crowley and Mermentau, Louisiana. Supreme Rice has been registered as a federal contractor since 2003 and competes under partial small business set-asides across the majority of its work.

Supreme Rice's customer concentration is narrow and deep within USDA. The top five funding entities account for 91% of recent awards (235 total primes across the portfolio, zero subs). The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office anchors the dollar volume with 72 awards valued at $117.1 million combined potential value, followed by the Food and Nutrition Service with 37 awards at $83.6 million, and the Foreign Agricultural Service with 78 awards at $70 million. The Foreign Agricultural Service Food for Progress program contributes 9 awards at $24.7 million, and the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office accounts for 7 awards at $34.1 million. This ranking reflects concentration by dollar magnitude distinct from concentration by award count—the Kansas City Commodity Office and Food and Nutrition Service anchor both volume and dollars, while Foreign Agricultural Service leads award count but ranks third by potential value.

Representative capability work spans definitive firm-fixed-price contracts for commodity procurement. Recent awards include a $3.67 million Food and Nutrition Service award (August 2026) for long-grain, brown, and parboiled rice in multiple package sizes for domestic food donations; a $2.22 million Foreign Agricultural Service award (June 2026) for fortified long-grain white rice in 50-kilogram bulk bags for international food assistance; a $7.15 million Food for Progress award (September 2024) for long-grain white rice in bulk packaging; and a $14.17 million Agricultural Marketing Service award (August 2023) for medium-grain and long-grain rice in consumer packaging for domestic nutrition assistance programs. All awards carry firm fixed-price terms and most are delivered from the contractor's Crowley or Mermentau facilities on FOB origin or FOB destination basis.

Activity shows growth trajectory. Awards per year increased from 10 in 2022 to 24 in 2024, declining to 15 in 2025 and 8 through September 2026. Combined potential value across all 235 awards sits at $360.6 million, with obligated dollars at $410.7 million. Only three awards (combined potential value $4 million) face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. NAICS code 311212 (Rice Milling) and PSC code 8920 (Bakery and Cereal Products, also coded as 8915 and 8945 across awards) frame the category footprint, with 234 of 235 awards under these codes.

Supreme Rice operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of TRC Group Inc., a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Roseville, California. The vendor holds no government-wide vehicles, sits on no multi-agency IDIQs or GWACs, and performs all work as a direct prime contractor to individual USDA commodity procurement solicitations. The company does not subcontract federal work; 100% of awards are prime.
