Definitive Contract 123J1426C0474

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $846,334 firm fixed-price contract to Interamerican Foods Corporation on January 8, 2026, for the supply of spaghetti pasta in one-pound boxes to support domestic food assistance programs. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, was awarded without a set-aside designation, allowing the vendor to compete as a standard-sized business. Interamerican Foods Corporation, headquartered in Cleburne, Texas, will manufacture and deliver the pasta products from its U.S. facility on an FOB destination basis to multiple locations across the continental United States in support of federal food donation initiatives including the National School Lunch Program and other Federal Food and Nutrition Assistance Programs.

This contract award follows a combined synopsis and solicitation issued by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service on January 5, 2026, for various pasta commodities totaling approximately 9.8 million pounds to be delivered between February and March 2026. Interamerican Foods Corporation has established a substantial track record with the Food and Nutrition Service, having received 25 prior definitive contracts since February 2021 with cumulative values exceeding $68 million. The contractor manufactures all pasta products exclusively in the United States and performs all work directly at its Cleburne facility without major subcontractor involvement, consistently meeting the government's food commodity procurement requirements for the nation's food assistance programs.
