About this award
The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe has been awarded a $2.9 million definitive contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service to supply traditionally-harvested wild rice for federal food donation programs. Under the firm fixed-price contract, the tribe will deliver 160,000 pounds of wild rice in 25/1-pound packages sourced from the 2025 harvest and mechanically parched using wood. The commodity will be distributed across two delivery locations—95,000 pounds to Henderson County, Colorado, and 65,000 pounds to Syracuse, New York—with all deliveries scheduled on a quarterly basis between April 1, 2026, and July 31, 2026, on an FOB destination basis. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation but benefited from the Indian Incentive Program, which provided preferential consideration and a five percent incentive payment for Indian-owned economic enterprises.
This award reflects the Leech Lake Tribal Council's established capacity to deliver specialized agricultural commodities to federal agencies and aligns with its broader portfolio of contracts with the Food and Nutrition Service and other federal entities. The contract requires compliance with Food Safety Modernization Act standards and certification that all commodities are U.S. products. With an ultimate completion date of July 15, 2026, this engagement supports the USDA's Food Distribution Programs on Indian Reservations while leveraging the tribe's expertise in traditional wild rice harvesting and processing.
