Definitive Contract 123J1426C0127

Echo Lake Foods Inc., a Burlington, Wisconsin-based frozen food manufacturer, was awarded a $308,901.60 definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on December 3, 2025, to supply whole wheat frozen pancakes in 144-count units. This award was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and represents Echo Lake Foods' continued participation in the Commodity Procurement Program, which supports domestic food assistance initiatives. The contract will be performed at the company's manufacturing facility in Stanley, Kentucky, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2026. The firm-fixed-price contract was awarded following a solicitation posted December 1, 2025, which sought frozen pancakes alongside other food commodities for distribution through federal food assistance programs to multiple delivery locations across the United States.

Echo Lake Foods has established itself as a reliable small business contractor with the Food and Nutrition Service, specializing in frozen breakfast items for institutional food service markets and federal correctional facilities. The company's registration in SAM.gov since November 2001 and consistent track record of contract performance—ranging from smaller purchase orders to contracts exceeding $1.3 million—demonstrate its capability to meet federal procurement standards. This award continues the company's role in providing nutritious food commodities to vulnerable populations served by USDA domestic food assistance programs, including recipients of supplemental nutrition benefits and residents of federal institutions.
