About the company
Channel Fish Processing Co., Inc., doing business as Channel Fish Processing Co Inc., is a for-profit seafood processor headquartered in Braintree, Massachusetts that supplies frozen fish products to the federal government as a prime contractor exclusively, with no subcontract footprint across 150 awards totaling $257.7 million in combined potential value since 1995.
The company operates entirely in the commodity food supply space, delivering frozen seafood—predominantly Alaska pollock (fillets, nuggets, sticks), Atlantic pollock fillets, haddock, and ocean perch fillets, along with breaded and specialty formats—to support federal domestic food assistance programs. Representative prime work includes a $14.5 million definitive contract awarded by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service in September 2025 for frozen Alaska pollock nuggets packaged in 20-pound units, a $22.4 million USDA contract (March 2025) for mixed frozen Alaska pollock products, and a $16.6 million July 2025 award for frozen Atlantic groundfish assortments (Atlantic pollock, haddock, and ocean perch fillets). All work is performed at the company's Braintree facility under firm fixed-price terms with FOB destination delivery to multiple U.S. locations.
Customer concentration is extreme and agency-specific. The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office dominates the footprint with 24 awards carrying $241.4 million in combined potential value—94% of the portfolio's total dollars. The Food and Nutrition Service contributes 12 awards valued at $14.7 million. The remaining 114 awards scatter across the Defense Logistics Agency (20 awards), the Defense Commissary Agency (4 awards), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons facilities (Fort Dix, Allenwood, Oxford), which together account for less than 1% of potential value. Channel Fish holds two multiple-award indefinite delivery contracts with USDA AMS: one with a $33.9 million ceiling awarded April 2024 and another with a $20.8 million ceiling awarded June 2023. Task orders flow regularly against these IDVs through December 2024 and beyond.
Activity has been inconsistent: four awards in 2022, seven in 2023, six in 2024, eight in 2025, and one to date in 2026. Three awards with combined potential value of $21.8 million complete within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The company competes exclusively in the full-and-open space with no set-aside designations on its dominant USDA AMS awards, though some historical USDA Food and Nutrition Service procurements included partial small-business, service-disabled veteran, 8(a), and AbilityOne set-asides. Primary NAICS codes are 311710 (Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging, 43 awards) and 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, 19 awards), with PSC 8905 (Meat, Poultry, and Fish) dominating 111 of 150 awards.
