The contract was awarded to Riceland Foods Inc., a major supplier of rice and rice products, to provide agricultural commodities for domestic food distribution programs. The contract is a definitive, firm-fixed-price contract for the delivery of long grain parboiled rice, brown rice, and medium grain rice in various packaging configurations, including 25-pound bags and retail packages of 1-2 pounds.
