Channel Fish Processing Co., Inc., based in Braintree, Massachusetts, has been awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service for the supply of frozen seafood commodities intended for domestic food assistance programs. The contract, valued at $696,006.22 with a completion date of June 15, 2026, specifically calls for Atlantic pollock fillets and Alaska pollock sticks, each packaged in 20-pound units. The award was issued on December 11, 2025, following a solicitation that sought multiple frozen fish products—including salmon, pollock, and catfish—for distribution to various locations across the United States through January to June 2026. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents Channel Fish Processing's continued role as a key supplier to federal food assistance initiatives.

This award aligns with the company's established market position as a specialized frozen seafood processor serving USDA programs. Channel Fish Processing has demonstrated substantial capacity through multiple prior federal contracts and currently holds two significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle agreements with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service valued at $33.9 million and $20.8 million, respectively. The company's consistent procurement by the Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service underscores its reliability in meeting the logistical and quality requirements necessary to support national nutrition programs such as The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). No subcontractors are identified in this award documentation.
