USDA FSA Michigan State Office

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Michigan State Office is a regional sub-office of USDA's Farm Service Agency, the federal agency that administers farm commodity, conservation, and credit programs at the state and county level. The Michigan State Office executes procurement and financial transactions supporting FSA's operations within the state.

Contract activity at the Michigan State Office is minimal and irregular. The office has awarded 52 federal contracts since 2008, totaling $545 thousand in combined potential value with $444 thousand obligated. Recent activity is sparse: one award in 2011, one in 2014, one in 2018, two in 2022, and one in 2023. No awards are recorded since August 2023.

Competitive concentration among recent awardees is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, Steelcase Inc. holds the lead with two awards worth $50 thousand combined, and Guru Works LLC follows with one award worth $7 thousand. The top two contractors account for 100 percent of recent awards, but the extremely low dollar value and sporadic award cadence indicate no sustained competitive dominance—the office transacts with 18 distinct prime contractors across the lifetime portfolio. Ninety-eight percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; the remaining one percent is small-business set-aside.

The contract portfolio reflects an office with limited and episodic procurement activity. Award values are consistently below $100 thousand, and the three-year gap between the most recent award and today indicates no current solicitation activity. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit at this office should assess whether their service offerings align with occasional, low-dollar administrative and operational support contracts and whether the infrequency of opportunity justifies resource allocation.
