About this opportunity
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service has awarded a firm fixed-price contract (ID 12-3J14-25-C-0580) to Star-Kist Co. for the procurement of domestic canned tuna through simplified acquisition procedures. The contract covers 140,400 cases (78 truckloads) of Tuna Chunk Light Can-24/12 OZ, with an estimated total value of $7.5 million through September 30, 2025. The award was made after a Sources Sought notice revealed no alternative qualified vendors capable of providing 100% domestically sourced canned tuna, resulting in a sole source justification for Star-Kist Co. The procurement is being conducted for the USDA Food and Nutrition Service's Household Operations Branch, with anticipated awards planned for April-June and July-September periods.
