USDA Farm Service Agency New Hampshire

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency New Hampshire is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that administers federal farm-support programs, commodity price-support mechanisms, and conservation funding at the state level. The New Hampshire office executes these programs through a lean contracting footprint focused on operational and administrative support rather than programmatic procurement.

The agency has awarded 9 federal contracts cumulatively since 2012, totaling $49 thousand in combined potential value, with all dollars obligated. Recent contracting cadence is minimal: 4 awards in 2012, 1 in 2015, 1 in 2016, 1 in 2017, and 2 in 2018, with no recorded awards since the most recent closed award on September 13, 2018. All nine awards went to open competition with no set-aside designations. The four distinct prime contractors that have won contracts under the office represent the entire contractor base, indicating a small and episodic contracting operation with minimal recurrence or relationship depth.

The combined award value of $49 thousand reflects transaction size and frequency characteristic of routine administrative and operational services at a regional state office rather than programmatic or capital-intensive procurement. No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the New Hampshire office. Contractors evaluating potential work at this sub-agency should treat it as a watch position rather than active pursuit — the office's contracting activity has been dormant for more than eight years, and the historical award portfolio is too small and episodic to support a dedicated business development focus. Engagement may become relevant if the office initiates new solicitations or if a contractor already operates in the USDA Farm Service Agency ecosystem at other state or national offices seeks to extend its presence to New Hampshire.
