About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract to Knouse Foods, Inc., a small agricultural cooperative based in Pennsylvania, on December 9, 2025, with a ceiling value of $2.17 million. The contract, which extends through March 31, 2026, is designated as a partial small business set-aside and calls for the supply of canned apple commodities—specifically canned apple slices in 6/10-ounce configurations and unsweetened applesauce in canned formats—for domestic food assistance programs. These products will support USDA initiatives including the National School Lunch Program and other federal food donation programs aimed at addressing food insecurity across the United States. All commodities are required to be products of the United States in accordance with applicable regulations, with deliveries made on an FOB destination basis to various locations nationwide.
Knouse Foods has established itself as a consistent supplier to the USDA for apple-based food commodities since 2021, holding certifications as a small disadvantaged business and DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise. The company manufactures these products at its facility in Peach Glen, Pennsylvania, and has successfully fulfilled multiple federal food commodity contracts annually. The award aligns with USDA's broader Agricultural Marketing Service Commodity Procurement Program, which solicits canned and frozen fruit products from qualified domestic manufacturers to meet federal food assistance program standards and specifications.
