Indefinite Delivery Contract 123J1425D0016

RPE, LLC (doing business as RPE Inc.), a small business manufacturer and transportation services provider headquartered in Bancroft, Wisconsin, was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crops Program on March 11, 2025, with a ceiling value of $3.06 million and performance period extending through June 30, 2026. The contract vehicle establishes a framework for the procurement of bulk fresh and processed sweet potatoes to support United States Government food donation programs, including the National School Lunch Program and other federal food assistance initiatives. As a partial small business set-aside contract, this award reflects RPE's demonstrated capacity and established track record as a key supplier of potato commodities to USDA agencies, including the Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service, with cumulative contract values exceeding $11 million across multiple commodity procurement vehicles.

Under this Indefinite Delivery Vehicle, the USDA issued a delivery order to RPE on November 26, 2025, valued at $187,404.40 for the procurement of bulk fresh processed sweet potatoes with a firm fixed price structure and completion date of March 31, 2026, to be performed in Grand Marsh, Wisconsin. This delivery order represents one of multiple task orders anticipated under the parent contract solicitation posted on February 20, 2025, which sought procurement of 242.24 million pounds of bulk potatoes across three categories—process frozen, dehydrated, and fresh process potatoes—for domestic food assistance programs. All commodities procured under this contract are required to be grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States, in accordance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements, with delivery locations spanning multiple states including Maine, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Idaho to support the government's food assistance mission.
