Through prime contract awards from agencies like the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Coastal Sunbelt Produce has provided large quantities of prepackaged fresh fruit, vegetable, dairy, and meat products. A major $12.6 million award from the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program in 2020 called for Coastal Sunbelt Produce to supply 200,000 cases of fresh fruit and vegetable boxes to aid in the COVID-19 emergency response. The company has also fulfilled smaller produce orders for the USDA's Specialty Crops Program under separate contracts. No set-asides were indicated for the awards highlighting Coastal Sunbelt Produce as a non-set-aside business concern.

Coastal Sunbelt Produce holds a multiple-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) contract vehicle with the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service for the provision of precooked meat boxes, combination food boxes, fresh fruit and vegetable boxes, and dairy product boxes under the Commodities program. This comprehensive BOA, which has a $0 ceiling value, enables the USDA to issue task orders to Coastal Sunbelt Produce and other awardees through August 2022 for these food box requirements in support of nutrition assistance efforts across the country.
