Definitive Contract 123J1426C0779

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $134.6k firm fixed-price 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. This partial small business set-aside contract, awarded on February 23, 2026, supports domestic food assistance programs that provide protein commodities to food-insecure populations through food banks, school meal programs, and other USDA-administered nutrition initiatives. The product will be delivered to Winchester, Virginia, with a completion deadline of April 15, 2026. TFC Poultry, which has been registered as a federal contractor since July 2011, specializes exclusively in poultry procurement for USDA agencies and demonstrates established capacity in handling large-volume commodity orders processed and sourced entirely within the United States in compliance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulations.

The underlying solicitation, posted by the Agricultural Marketing Service on January 27, 2026, sought offers for turkey and turkey products totaling 4.2 million pounds across two categories: chilled bulk turkey and boneless skinless chilled turkey thighs. Delivery locations included Willmar, Minnesota, and Harrison, Ohio, with all shipments required between April 1-30, 2026. The solicitation included a 50 percent small business set-aside and specified strict compliance requirements including food defense plans, weight specifications, and probationary delivery restrictions for new contractors. TFC Poultry's consistent track record of federal contract awards ranging from approximately $54k to $1.5 million, along with demonstrated capacity to deliver multi-million-pound commodity orders across multiple states, positioned the firm as a qualified awardee for this food assistance procurement.
