Definitive Contract 123J1425C1830

Mistica Foods LLC, a small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Addison, Illinois, was awarded a definitive firm-fixed-price contract valued at $1.12M by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on August 28, 2025. Under this partial small business set-aside contract, Mistica will supply cooked frozen beef patties in 40-pound cartons for U.S. government food donation programs, with delivery required by October 31, 2025. The award originated from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Commodity Procurement Program solicitation, which sought approximately 8.1 million pounds of cooked and canned meat products for domestic food assistance initiatives, with beef patties designated as a 50% small business set-aside item. All products must be domestically grown, processed, and prepared in accordance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements.

This contract aligns with Mistica's established role as a key USDA supplier specializing in frozen protein commodities for federal nutrition assistance programs. The company has built a robust portfolio of definitive, firm-fixed-price contracts with the USDA, with values typically ranging from $90,000 to over $10 million, and holds multiple Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Agricultural Marketing Service valued between $1.2 million and $27.5 million. Deliveries under this award are scheduled for Addison, Illinois, as the place of performance, supporting the government's ongoing commitment to food assistance and donation initiatives across the nation.
