USDA FSA North Carolina State Office

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency North Carolina State Office is a civilian sub-agency within USDA that administers farm programs, commodity support, and conservation assistance in North Carolina. The office procures goods and services in support of its farm-service mission across the state.

The North Carolina State Office has issued 44 federal contract awards since 2010, with a combined potential value of $440 thousand. Recent contract activity is sparse: the office awarded 4 contracts in 2018, 10 in 2019, 2 in 2020, 1 in 2021, and 2 in 2023. The most recent recorded award closed on August 10, 2023. All $440 thousand in potential value has been obligated. The office has transacted with 24 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio.

The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Among recent awards, the top three primes by count—Ice Technical Services Inc., Steelcase Inc., and Crabtree Family Moving LLC—hold 100 percent of recorded recent awards and 43 percent of combined potential value. Each of these three received a single contract award in the five-year window; the remaining 21 primes in the portfolio history appear to have won awards outside that timeframe or are represented in the 44-award total as one-time vendors. No single contractor dominates; the office shows no pattern of repeat procurement from any given prime.

Nearly all awards carry no set-aside designation: 43 of 44 awards (98 percent) are open market. One award (2 percent) went to a small-business set-aside recipient. The office does not use 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, or HUBZone set-asides in its recent activity.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the North Carolina State Office. The sparse, low-dollar contract footprint and three-year gap since the most recent award suggest minimal active procurement velocity. Business development professionals should monitor for future solicitations or watch-list the office only if pursuing work aligned with farm-service operational support in North Carolina.
