Definitive Contract 123J1426C0287

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive firm-fixed-price contract valued at $1.78 million to Langer Juice Co Inc. (doing business as L & A Juice Co) on December 9, 2025, for the supply of bottled fruit juices to support federal food donation programs. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for the delivery of apple juice, cherry apple juice, Concord grape juice, and cranberry-apple juice in 8/64 fluid ounce plastic bottles. Performance will be conducted in La Puente, California, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, and the products will support domestic food assistance initiatives including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

Langer Juice Co Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and family-owned juice manufacturer based in Hacienda Heights, California, has established itself as a key supplier to USDA nutrition programs through consistent delivery of bottled fruit and vegetable juices. The company's award under this Total Small Business set-aside reflects its ongoing role in supporting low-income communities through juice distribution to schools, food pantries, and other assistance outlets. This contract award was issued in response to a solicitation posted by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service Commodity Procurement Program on November 24, 2025, which required all products to be U.S.-manufactured and delivered on an FOB destination basis to locations throughout the United States.
