USDA FSA Louisiana State Office

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Louisiana State Office is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that administers Farm Service Agency programs and services to agricultural producers in Louisiana, including farm loans, commodity support, conservation assistance, and disaster relief. The office transacts through a modest contract portfolio supporting its operational and programmatic functions.

The Louisiana State Office has awarded 56 federal contracts since 2008, with combined potential value of $957 thousand. Recent activity has been sparse: one award in 2020, one in 2022, three in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2025 year-to-date. The most recent recorded award date is 2025-01-06. Combined dollars obligated total $446 thousand, representing 47 percent of the combined potential value, indicating that not all contract authority has been drawn. Twenty-eight distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio lifetime.

The contract competitive landscape is highly fragmented by award count over the last five years, with the top five primes holding 88 percent of recent awards. Moi, Inc. leads with two awards totaling $91 thousand in potential value. On-Demand Services LLC also holds two awards at $29 thousand combined potential value. The remainder of the top five—King & George, LLC; General Moving Company, Inc.; and Bart's Office Furniture Repairs, Inc.—each hold one award. By potential value, concentration is more dispersed: the top five vendors hold only 38 percent of recent combined potential value, with Msab, LLC leading at $204 thousand from a single award. The bulk of contracting activity consists of small, task-specific engagements with modest dollar values and short durations.

The set-aside mix reflects the office's modest operational-services footprint. Ninety-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, indicating direct competitive solicitations or sole-source buys. Small-Business set-asides account for 4 percent of awards, with 8(a) activity split evenly between one Competitive 8(a) award and one 8(a) Sole Source award. The office does not appear to pursue or prioritize HUBZone, WOSB, SDVOSB, or other specialized set-asides.

No recent federal contract opportunities are recorded for this office. The sparse and infrequent award pattern suggests that the Louisiana State Office issues contracts primarily to support internal administrative and operational needs rather than to develop a sustained competitive market. Business development focus should be directed toward larger FSA regional or national procurement offices if seeking volume opportunity.
