This federal contract IDV was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to Kingsburg Orchards, a family-owned producer and supplier of fresh stone fruits grown in California. The $952,569,810.00 multiple award contract has a period of performance through January 31, 2025 and is set aside for small businesses. Under this IDV, Kingsburg Orchards has been awarded two firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling $8,544,308.10 to provide over 2 million pounds of fresh nectarines, peaches, and plums in bagged and tray-pack formats to support the USDA's domestic food assistance programs administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA).
The original USDA AMS solicitation, which was not set aside, seeks offers for the procurement of various fresh stone fruits grown, processed, and distributed exclusively within the United States. The solicitation may include partial or total small business set-asides, service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides, and price evaluation preferences for HUBZone small businesses, though the specific set-aside quantities are not provided. Deliveries are to be made on an FOB origin basis to locations across the country. Kingsburg Orchards, which has received over $20 million in prior USDA contracts for fresh stone fruits, was also awarded a $20,000 USDA grant in 2022 to support its COVID-19 response efforts.
