Definitive Contract 123J1426C0636

Weststar Food Co LLC, a small disadvantaged business based in Corpus Christi, Texas, was awarded a $165,278.40 firm-fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on February 6, 2026. The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside, calls for the delivery of dry pinto beans packaged in 12/2 lb configurations to support the federal government's domestic food assistance programs. Performance will take place in Corpus Christi, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of June 15, 2026. The award directly stems from a USDA Agricultural Marketing Service solicitation issued in January 2026, which sought multiple varieties of dry beans packaged in standardized configurations for distribution through food assistance initiatives serving schools, food banks, and other federal nutrition programs.

This contract award is consistent with Weststar Food Co LLC's established role as a key supplier to the USDA, having received over $25 million in federal contract awards since 2021. The company specializes in procuring and supplying shelf-stable legume commodities sourced exclusively from U.S. production in compliance with agricultural acquisition regulations. All dry beans supplied under this contract must be products of the United States, grown, processed, and prepared domestically. The award reflects the company's track record of successfully delivering standardized food commodity packages and aligns with federal procurement priorities emphasizing small business participation in critical nutrition support programs.
