About this award
Rogers Orchards, Inc., a small business based in Southington, Connecticut, was awarded a definitive contract on December 8, 2025, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service to supply fresh Empire apples for domestic food assistance programs. The contract, valued at $190.2K with a firm fixed-price structure, is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and requires delivery of apples in two formats: Empire Fresh cartons (40 lbs) and fresh packaged apples (12/3 lbs). Performance will take place in Southington, Connecticut, with a completion deadline of March 25, 2026, aligning with delivery schedules for federal food nutrition assistance initiatives including the National School Lunch Program.
The award emerges from a broader USDA Agricultural Marketing Service solicitation (No. 2000011029) issued December 1, 2025, which sought multiple apple varieties totaling 49,812 cases for distribution across food assistance programs. The solicitation imposed mandatory Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices certifications, domestic sourcing requirements under Agricultural Acquisition Regulation provisions, and strict food safety compliance standards with penalties for non-compliance. Rogers Orchards' selection reflects the company's established capability in supplying fresh produce to federal food assistance programs and its existing small business certifications, with the contract supporting the Food and Nutrition Service's mission to ensure food availability for vulnerable populations nationwide.
