Definitive Contract 123J1426C0309

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract to Goodman Food Products, Inc. (doing business as Don Lee Farms) on December 10, 2025, with a ceiling value of $3.27 million and an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026. The contract is designated as a partial small business set-aside and will be performed in Inglewood, California. Goodman Food Products, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business, will supply cooked frozen beef patties and beef-soy protein patties in 40-pound cartons to support the federal government's food donation initiatives. These commodities will be distributed through domestic food assistance programs, including school lunch initiatives and food bank distributions.

As a established manufacturer of protein-based food products for federal agencies, Goodman Food Products brings substantial experience in delivering large quantities of precooked meat items to USDA programs. The company has previously secured multiple significant indefinite delivery contracts with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service valued at tens of millions of dollars for various cooked pork and beef products. This award reflects the contractor's proven capacity to reliably supply high-quality protein products at scale to support the nation's food nutrition assistance programs, with the HUBZone small business set-aside designation supporting economic development in historically underutilized business zones.
