About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Cotton and Tobacco Program is a civilian sub-agency that procures services, equipment, and logistics support for U.S. cotton and tobacco market development, promotion, and compliance activities. The Program has awarded 1,921 federal contracts since 2007, with a combined potential value of $293.2 million and $250 million obligated to date.
Contract activity has moderated in recent years. The Program issued 89 awards in 2022, 70 in 2023, 62 in 2024, 70 in 2025, and 66 year-to-date in 2026, trending toward a lower baseline than the earlier part of the decade. The most recently recorded award date is September 30, 2026. Across the entire portfolio, 366 distinct prime contractors have received awards, but the competitive landscape is moderately concentrated among top performers. Over the last five years, Uster Technologies, Inc. dominates by award count with 87 awards totaling $31.5 million in combined potential value—capturing 41 percent of recent award volume. Comer Lphelps follows distantly with 31 awards ($5.4 million), and R L Burks Hauling LLC holds 19 awards ($5 million). The concentration by potential value is lower, with the top five primes accounting for 19 percent of combined value; Uster Technologies again leads at $31.5 million, while Meers Enterprises Inc. ($9.5 million on 13 awards), Comer Lphelps ($5.4 million), R L Burks Hauling LLC ($5 million), and Adaptec Solutions LLC ($4.5 million on 7 awards) round out the top tier. The remaining 361 contractors compete in a highly fragmented long tail.
The majority of awards carry no set-aside designation—70 percent of all awards are unrestricted competitive procurements. Small business set-asides account for 23 percent of awards, with 8(a) sole-source awards representing 5 percent and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business awards representing 3 percent. HUBZone, Competitive 8(a), Partial Small Business, and Woman-Owned Small Business set-asides each represent less than 1 percent of volume. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data for this sub-agency.
