About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive firm-fixed-price contract to Ludford's, Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business based in Riverside, California, on December 9, 2025. The contract, valued at $2.5 million with a ceiling of $2,496,695, calls for the supply of bottled orange juice and tomato juice in 8-ounce and 64-ounce plastic bottles to support domestic food donation programs. The contract carries a partial small business set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026. This award aligns with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Commodity Procurement Program, which solicited commercial bottled juice products on a firm-fixed-price, FOB destination basis to serve vulnerable populations through federal food assistance initiatives including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, and the National School Lunch Program.
Ludford's, Inc. has established itself as a strategic supplier to the USDA, holding a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Agricultural Marketing Service and maintaining a substantial contract portfolio exceeding $80 million in cumulative ceiling values across recent awards. The company specializes in manufacturing and supplying bottled fruit and vegetable juice commodities and functions exclusively as a prime contractor with no identified subcontractors. This award represents continued engagement under the company's established BOA framework, enabling the USDA to efficiently procure bottled juice products to meet emerging food security and nutrition assistance demands nationwide. All products are required to be products of the United States in accordance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation provisions.
