Definitive Contract 123J1426C0378

Gold Creek Foods, LLC, a poultry processor based in Gainesville, Georgia, has been awarded a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract valued at $14.1 million by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to supply large quantities of chilled bulk chicken for domestic food assistance programs. The contract, awarded December 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2026, was procured without a small business set-aside designation under the AMS Commodity Procurement Program (CPP). The solicitation, posted December 2, 2025, sought chicken and chicken products in bulk quantities for delivery on a free on board (FOB) destination basis to various locations throughout the United States, with all products required to be products of the United States in compliance with applicable Agricultural Acquisition Regulations. The contract was evaluated and awarded based on firm-fixed pricing submitted in response to the solicitation.

Gold Creek Foods has established itself as a reliable supplier to federal food assistance initiatives, with a contracting history exceeding $71 million in USDA awards supporting programs such as the National School Lunch Program. The company's demonstrated capacity to deliver substantial volumes of poultry products—ranging from approximately 200,000 to over 25 million pounds per contract—positions it as a significant vendor for large-scale government procurement requirements. The absence of small business set-aside designations on Gold Creek Foods' contracts reflects its capability to compete directly in open market federal procurements for food commodities supporting critical domestic nutrition assistance programs.
