Cloninger's Inc.

Cloninger's Inc., doing business as Cloningers Harvest Foods, is a for-profit limited liability company registered in SAM.gov since July 12, 2011, located in Kamiah, Idaho. The company specializes in providing food services to federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Forest Service, with a focus on supplying meals in lieu of per diem for personnel working in remote locations. While limited information is available about the company's broader operations, its federal contract history demonstrates a niche capability in supporting field-based government personnel with food provisions in challenging environmental settings.

The company has exclusively worked with the U.S. Forest Service's Northern Region (Region 1), specifically supporting various projects within the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest. Its federal contract awards have consistently involved providing food services for specialized teams and programs, including youth conservation corps crews, historic preservation initiatives, forest restoration work, wildfire crisis camps, and National Smokejumper Rookie Training. Each contract has been a firm fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order, with ceiling values ranging from $616 to $4,867. Notably, all of these contract awards have been made without any specific small business set-aside designations, indicating the company competes on open market terms.

Cloninger's Inc. currently holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service Northern Region, effective from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2028, with a total ceiling value of $250,000. This BPA serves as an overarching procurement mechanism for food services in remote forest areas where standard per diem allowances are impractical. Under this IDV, the company has already received multiple task orders supporting various Forest Service personnel and programs, with individual order values between $616 and $2,432. The BPA allows for flexible, as-needed food service procurement, enabling the Forest Service to efficiently support personnel engaged in conservation, preservation, and emergency response activities in challenging geographic environments.
