O-AT-KA MILK PRODUCTS COOPERATIVE INC

O-AT-KA MILK PRODUCTS COOPERATIVE INC specializes in the manufacturing of shelf-stable, evaporated skim milk products for U.S. government food assistance programs. The company produces high-quality, standardized dairy commodities in compliant, shelf-stable canned formats, meeting stringent USDA food safety and nutritional specifications for domestic and international humanitarian aid. Their technical expertise lies in evaporated dairy processing, aseptic canning, extended shelf-life formulation, and cold chain logistics for bulk commodity distribution. Differentiators include consistent adherence to federal food standards, batch traceability, and reliable production scalability for recurring humanitarian supply demands. The contractor maintains a sustained, long-term relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, exclusively supplying evaporated skim milk under the Commodity Assistance Program. Their work supports global food donation initiatives, ensuring nutrient-dense dairy products meet international food aid requirements for vulnerable populations. The consistency of awards over multiple years indicates deep institutional trust and seamless integration into USDA’s commodity procurement and distribution pipeline. Their primary industry focus is NAICS 311514—Dry, Condensed, and Evaporated Dairy Product Manufacturing—where they operate as a niche producer of federally mandated dairy commodities. This vertical specialization positions them as a critical supplier within the U.S. government’s food security infrastructure, serving not just domestic nutrition programs but also global emergency response systems reliant on stable, non-perishable dairy inputs. As a 2L entity based in Lancaster, New York, O-AT-KA MILK PRODUCTS COOPERATIVE INC operates as a farmer-owned cooperative with a focused, mission-driven production model. While no federal certifications are listed, their sustained performance under USDA contracts demonstrates compliance with federal food manufacturing regulations, including HACCP, FDA cGMP, and USDA commodity specifications. Their geographic footprint is anchored in the Northeast dairy corridor, enabling efficient access to raw milk supply chains and federal distribution hubs.
