Butterball LLC has been awarded a $897,120 firm-fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service to supply chilled bulk turkey products in support of domestic food assistance programs. The contract, awarded on December 10, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026, was procured through a commercial acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12. The solicitation, posted on December 2, 2025, sought approximately 3.1 million pounds of chilled bulk turkey and boneless, skinless chilled bulk turkey thighs for delivery to multiple locations including Huntsville, Arkansas; Willmar, Minnesota; Sanford, North Carolina; and Harrison, Ohio, with deliveries required between January 16 and February 28, 2026. No set-aside designation was used for this award, despite the underlying solicitation including a 50% total small business set-aside.

Butterball LLC, a leading turkey producer and processor headquartered in Garner, North Carolina, has been a significant federal contractor supporting USDA food assistance initiatives. The company's award under this contract demonstrates its continued role in supplying high-quality protein products to programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program, which addresses food insecurity across the United States. All products procured must comply with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements specifying U.S.-origin products, and the contract follows commercial pricing standards consistent with firm-fixed-price federal procurement practices.
