Definitive Contract 123J1422C1960

On August 3, 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded John Hofmeister & Son Inc., doing business as HOF Haus, a definitive firm-fixed-price contract valued at $3.9 million for the provision of frozen pork ham commodities. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of December 5, 2022, calls for the delivery of water-added pork ham in two primary configurations: sliced and packaged in 8/5-pound units and canned in 12/3-pound containers. These commodities will be procured for use in domestic food assistance programs, with performance to be executed in Chicago, Illinois. No set-aside designation was utilized for this award.

HOF Haus, a Chicago-based manufacturer of frozen meat products and an SBA-certified HUBZone firm, has established itself as a key supplier to the Food and Nutrition Service through consistent delivery of specialized meat products supporting federal food assistance initiatives such as the National School Lunch Program and The Emergency Food Assistance Program. The firm's selection reflects its qualification under USDA Agricultural Marketing Service vendor requirements and its demonstrated capability to produce and supply frozen pork commodities at scale to support the government's domestic food assistance mission.
