Turner Dairy Farms Inc.

Turner Dairy Farms Inc. is a for-profit, corporate dairy product manufacturer and distributor located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since 2004. The company provides dairy products, including fresh milk in various container sizes and fat percentages, to federal government food assistance and procurement programs. As a Subchapter S Corporation and manufacturer of goods, Turner Dairy Farms Inc. has consistently engaged with federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), to supply milk and dairy products for domestic food donation initiatives.

Turner Dairy Farms Inc. has been awarded multiple federal contracts primarily focused on providing commodities for government food donations. These contracts, consistently issued by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), involve delivering 2% and whole fresh milk in 64 fl oz and 128 fl oz containers. The contracts are typically definitive, firm-fixed-price agreements with no specific set-aside designations. In addition to milk product contracts, the company was awarded a significant $750,250 contract in May 2020 to provide dairy product boxes as part of the COVID-19 response efforts. The company has also received a contract from the Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 (VISN 9) for milk and dairy product procurement, demonstrating its ability to serve different federal agencies.

The company has received two significant federal grant awards, both cooperative agreements from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Dairy Program, focused on administering the Pandemic Market Volatility Assistance Program (PMVAP). These grants, totaling approximately $585,513 and $400,737, enabled Turner Dairy Farms Inc. to distribute financial assistance to dairy farmers who experienced market disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants required the company to disburse funds to eligible producers, obtain income attestations, issue 1099-MISC forms, document payment compliance, and provide dairy policy education to producers who marketed milk to Federal Milk Marketing Order regulated handlers during July through December 2020.

Turner Dairy Farms Inc. holds two federal contract Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) vehicles. The primary IDV is a single-award contract with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 9, valued at $107,577.40 and running through September 30, 2029, for providing dairy and milk products to the Memphis VA Medical Center. This contract covers various milk products in different container sizes. The company also holds a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the USDA AMS, established in September 2020 with a COVID-19 national interest action code, which allows for the procurement of various food boxes, including dairy product boxes. These IDVs demonstrate Turner Dairy Farms Inc.'s strategic positioning to provide dairy products across different federal agencies and programs.
