DAKOTA GROWERS PASTA COMPANY, INC.

Dakota Growers Pasta Company, Inc. specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality dry pasta and flour-based food products for government food assistance programs. Leveraging industrial-scale pasta production capabilities, the company produces whole grain, egg noodle, and standard pasta varieties in standardized packaging configurations compliant with U.S. government nutrition and packaging specifications. Their technical expertise lies in consistent dough formulation, extrusion, drying, and bulk packaging of pasta products under strict food safety and quality control protocols, ensuring shelf stability and nutritional integrity for long-term storage and distribution. The company’s key differentiator is its ability to reliably scale production of standardized pasta formats—such as rotini, spaghetti, and elbow macaroni—to meet federal commodity donation requirements with precise weight, labeling, and traceability standards. The contractor has demonstrated direct experience supplying the U.S. Department of Agriculture, specifically supporting domestic and international food donation initiatives through the distribution of nutritionally compliant pasta products. Their work aligns with USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service programs, delivering bulk food commodities that meet federal dietary guidelines and packaging mandates for humanitarian and school nutrition aid. Their primary industry focus is NAICS 311824, which encompasses the manufacturing of dry pasta, dough, and flour mixes from purchased flour. This positions them as a specialized producer within the federal food commodity supply chain, serving institutional and humanitarian food distribution networks that require consistent, large-volume output of shelf-stable grain-based products. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Carrington, North Dakota, Dakota Growers Pasta Company operates with regional manufacturing infrastructure tailored to agricultural supply chains. While they hold no formal government certifications, their operational compliance with USDA food safety and commodity standards reflects a focused, mission-driven approach to federal procurement markets. Their geographic location supports efficient logistics to central U.S. distribution hubs, reinforcing their role as a reliable domestic supplier for government food assistance programs.
