Definitive Contract 123J1425C1720

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract to Komal Herbals, Inc., a minority-owned small business based in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, on August 12, 2025. This partial small business set-aside contract, valued at $236,468.16 with a completion date of December 31, 2025, calls for the supply of roasted, unsalted peanuts packaged in 12-16 ounce bags to support domestic food assistance programs. The commodities will be performed at the contractor's location in Solon, Ohio, with all peanuts required to be grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States in compliance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements.

This award stems from the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service Commodity Procurement Program solicitation 12-3J14-25-B-0450, which sought peanut products and other commodities totaling approximately 7.7 million pounds for food assistance initiatives. Komal Herbals' contract represents one component of this multi-product procurement that included kosher peanut butter and sunflower butter offerings, with significant portions of the solicitation reserved for small business concerns, including service-disabled veteran-owned and 8(a) certified firms. The contractor's selection reflects its established track record of consistently delivering agricultural commodities to federal food assistance programs, with deliveries scheduled for the October through December 2025 timeframe.
