Definitive Contract 123J1426C0778

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $265.7K definitive contract to TFC Poultry LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Ashby, Minnesota, for the supply of boneless, skinless chilled bulk turkey thighs to support domestic food assistance programs. The contract, awarded on February 23, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 15, 2026, represents a partial small business set-aside and carries firm fixed-price terms. TFC Poultry will deliver the turkey products to specified locations in Willmar, Minnesota and Harrison, Ohio, with deliveries scheduled between April 1-30, 2026. The underlying solicitation, posted by the Agricultural Marketing Service on January 27, 2026, sought turkey and turkey products totaling 4.2 million pounds to support federal nutrition initiatives including food banks and school meal programs, with a 50 percent small business set-aside that created opportunities for small business concerns, service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises, 8(a) firms, and HUBZone-qualified entities.

TFC Poultry's award reflects the company's established track record as a reliable supplier of bulk poultry commodities to USDA agencies, with previous contract awards ranging from approximately $54K to $1.5M since 2021. The firm's demonstrated capacity to deliver large-volume orders—often exceeding 200,000 to 2.6 million pounds per contract—across multiple states and its consistent compliance with federal procurement and agricultural acquisition standards position it as a key contributor to USDA's food assistance mission serving food-insecure populations nationwide.
