Definitive Contract 123J1426C0769

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a definitive firm fixed-price contract to Komal Herbals, Inc., a minority-owned small business headquartered in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, for the supply of roasted, unsalted peanuts in 12-16 ounce packages to support domestic food assistance programs. The contract, valued at $81,336.96 with a partial small business set-aside designation, was awarded on February 20, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of May 15, 2026. The award originated from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service solicitation number 12-3J14-26-B-0142, which sought approximately 6.4 million pounds of peanut products including peanut butter and roasted unsalted peanuts for distribution through the federal food assistance program. Deliveries will be performed from Komal Herbals' facility in Solon, Ohio, on an F.O.B. destination basis to designated locations throughout the United States.

This award represents the eighteenth definitive contract Komal Herbals has received from the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service since 2021, demonstrating the company's established track record as a reliable supplier of U.S.-grown agricultural commodities to federal agencies. The company's consistent performance on prior contracts—which have ranged from approximately $38,595 to $352,745 in value and typically involved delivery of 200,000 to 400,000 pounds of peanuts per contract—positions it as a qualified vendor for supporting the federal government's food assistance initiatives while maintaining compliance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements mandating domestically-sourced commodities.
