Definitive Contract 123J1424C0951

This federal contract award, valued at $2,360,708.25, was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service to Ludford's, Inc., a Small Business Administration (SBA) certified HUBZone firm based in Riverside, California. The contract is for the delivery of various bottled fruit juice products, including apple, cherry apple, orange, and tomato juice, to support the USDA's domestic food assistance programs. The contract is a definitive, firm-fixed-price award with a period of performance through June 30, 2024. This award was made under a larger $10 million multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) held by Ludford's, Inc. with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. The original solicitation was a partial small business set-aside, encouraging competition from small, disadvantaged, HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses to provide these commodities for the USDA's food donation initiatives across the country.
