BASIC AMERICAN INC

BASIC AMERICAN INC specializes in the manufacturing and packaging of dried and dehydrated food commodities for U.S. government humanitarian and food assistance programs. The company’s core capabilities center on the precise dehydration, quality control, and sealed packaging of potato products in standardized 1-pound bulk units, ensuring shelf stability, nutritional retention, and compliance with federal food safety and logistics standards. Their technical expertise includes controlled moisture removal, aseptic packaging, batch traceability, and adherence to USDA commodity specifications for international and domestic distribution. Differentiators include consistent production of high-purity dehydrated potato flakes under strict quality assurance protocols, enabling reliable integration into emergency rations and nutrition aid kits. The contractor maintains a sustained relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, consistently supplying dehydrated potato commodities under food donation programs administered through the Food and Nutrition Service. Their work supports global food aid initiatives, requiring adherence to USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation guidelines, foreign donor requirements, and cold chain logistics readiness. This recurring engagement reflects a trusted, long-term operational partnership built on predictable delivery, regulatory compliance, and product consistency. Operating under NAICS 311423, BASIC AMERICAN INC is narrowly focused on the dried and dehydrated food manufacturing sector, with deep specialization in root vegetable dehydration and shelf-stable food formulation. The company positions itself as a reliable producer of USDA-compliant, non-perishable food inputs for federal humanitarian supply chains, serving a niche but mission-critical segment of the government food assistance market. As a 2L entity based in Walnut Creek, California, the company operates as a mid-tier manufacturer without federal certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, or WOSB. Its geographic presence supports West Coast logistics networks, enabling efficient distribution to federal depots and international shipping points. The business is structured for scalable, repeatable production of standardized food commodities under government contract requirements.
