About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded Knouse Foods, Inc. a $309,806.25 firm fixed-price definitive contract on December 9, 2025, to supply apple juice in 8-ounce plastic bottles for domestic food assistance programs. This total small business set-aside contract, which runs through March 31, 2026, supports the USDA's commodity procurement initiatives that provide nutritious food to vulnerable populations through various federal food assistance programs, including the National School Lunch Program. Knouse Foods, based in Orrtanna, Pennsylvania, will deliver the bottled juice to designated locations nationwide on an FOB destination basis, with the contract originating from a solicitation posted on November 24, 2025, by the Agricultural Marketing Service's Commodity Procurement Program.
Knouse Foods is a small disadvantaged business and agricultural cooperative specializing in apple-based food products that has consistently supplied the USDA with various apple commodities through multiple federal contracts since its SAM.gov registration in 2002. The company's selection under this total small business set-aside reflects its established capability to meet federal food commodity procurement requirements and its ongoing partnership with the USDA in supporting domestic food assistance missions. This contract aligns with federal regulations requiring that all agricultural commodities acquired must be products of the United States, ensuring that procurement supports domestic agricultural producers and processors.
