About this award
First Cut Produce Inc., a small business-based fresh produce distributor headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, has been awarded a definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service to supply Gala apples in 40-pound cartons for federal food assistance programs. The contract, valued at $18,627.84 on a firm fixed-price basis, calls for delivery of commodities to Wapato, Washington, with an ultimate completion date of May 20, 2026. This award originated from a competitive solicitation issued by the Agricultural Marketing Service on January 21, 2026, which sought fresh apples and pears to support the National School Lunch Program and other federal nutrition initiatives. The solicitation was reserved exclusively for small businesses and required all bidders to maintain current Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices certifications.
The contract represents one component of a larger procurement effort totaling 30,296 cases across multiple apple varieties and pears, with deliveries scheduled between March 30 and June 24, 2026. As a total small business set-aside award, this contract reflects the USDA's commitment to supporting small agricultural suppliers while fulfilling the government's commodity procurement requirements for domestic food assistance programs. First Cut Produce Inc. has an established track record with federal agencies, having successfully delivered various fresh produce commodities through multiple definitive contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles with USDA agencies since its SAM registration in May 2019.
