USDA FSA Massachusetts State Office

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Massachusetts State Office, a sub-agency within the civilian USDA, administers farm support programs and related operational functions in Massachusetts. The office conducts minimal contract acquisition activity, with no recent federal grant awards recorded.

The agency has issued 17 federal contracts cumulatively since 2004, with combined potential value of $1 million and $521 thousand in obligated dollars. Recent award cadence is highly sparse: 5 awards in 2009, 1 in 2012, 2 in 2016, 1 in 2017, and 2 in 2024. The most recent award closed on May 9, 2024. Over the last five years, only two awards were issued; both were for general administrative or logistics support—office furniture and moving services—with combined potential value of $33 thousand. The 15 distinct prime contractors awarded across the portfolio history reflects minimal repeat business; no contractor has won more than one award in the last five years.

Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. SLM Contract Furniture, Inc. and Wakefield Moving & Storage, Inc. account for 100% of recent five-year awards but represent only 3% of combined potential value across the full portfolio, indicating that larger awards (now closed) were issued to other vendors in prior years.

Set-aside usage is minimal. Seventy-six percent of awards (13) carried no set-aside designation. Eight(a) Sole Source awards account for 12% (2 awards), and total small-business set-asides also account for 12% (2 awards). No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the office. No grant activity is recorded against the agency or its descendant offices. The agency's contract footprint is too small and infrequent to support regular business development activity. Pursuit is not recommended unless your firm has a specific operational need within the Massachusetts FSA office or holds a standing contract vehicle (Schedule, GWAC, or BPA) from which FSA may issue task orders.
