About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service has issued a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of canned peaches to support various food nutrition assistance programs under Section 32 authority. The specific material sought is Material Number 100218: PEACHES CLING SLICES CAN 24/300, which will be acquired through a firm-fixed-price contract with deliveries on a Freight on Board (FOB) destination basis to various locations throughout the United States. All commodities must be products of the United States, meaning they must be grown, processed, and prepared for sale exclusively within the U.S., though packaging and container components will be subject to World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement requirements. Interested vendors must meet AMS vendor qualification requirements and obtain access to the Web-Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) system, as all solicitations, bids, and modifications will be processed electronically through this platform. Potential contractors should review key documents including the AMS Master Solicitation for Commodity Procurement (effective July 23, 2025), Commodity Specification for Canned Fruit (June 2023), and the New Vendor Qualification Checklist, and must contact the specified personnel at NewVendor@usda.gov to begin the qualification process.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors who can meet the domestic sourcing requirements. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the anticipated purchases. No specific quantities are detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, though the material specification indicates canned peaches in cases of 24/300 size cans. The timeline for the actual solicitation release is described only as "in the near future," with interested parties responsible for monitoring the WBSCM system and AMS website for updates. Nicholas Cavazos is identified as the Contract Specialist for inquiries, while Diana Dau David and Chelsie Prange handle new vendor qualifications. Vendors can register for email notifications about solicitations and awards through the AMS Commodity Procurement webpage to stay informed about this and related opportunities.
