Definitive Contract 123J1426C0740

Goodman Food Products, Inc., operating under its Don Lee Farms Division, was awarded a $179,899.60 firm fixed-price definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service on February 18, 2026. The contract calls for the delivery of cooked beef specialty patties in 40-pound cartons totaling approximately 2.0 million pounds to support the USDA's domestic food donation and nutrition assistance programs. This award was designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, reflecting the contractor's status as an SBA-certified HUBZone small business. The contract originated from a sealed-bid solicitation issued by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service on January 26, 2026, and carries an ultimate completion date of April 15, 2026, with performance to be conducted at Goodman Food Products' facility in Inglewood, California.

This award represents a continuation of Goodman Food Products' extensive relationship with the USDA, as the company has received over 70 prime federal contract awards from the Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service since 2021. The contractor also maintains three indefinite delivery contracts with the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service with combined ceiling values exceeding $98 million, positioning it as a preferred supplier for commodity procurement supporting federal nutrition assistance initiatives including school lunch programs and food banks. The firm's demonstrated capacity to fulfill large-volume procurement requirements and consistent performance in delivering shelf-stable, precooked protein products has established it as a key supplier within the USDA's domestic food security supply chain.
