About the company
Columbia Grain International, LLC (doing business as C G I), a subsidiary of Japanese trading company Marubeni America Corporation, supplies commodity agricultural products — primarily lentils, split peas, and other pulses — to the Department of Agriculture under full-and-open prime contracts, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Based in Portland, Oregon, the vendor operates as a foreign-owned, for-profit food-commodity supplier focused on USDA commodity procurement for domestic food assistance and international food aid programs.
The vendor's customer concentration is singular and extreme: 88% of 289 awards originate from the Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office (95 awards, $61.7 million combined potential value), with the remaining awards split among the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (7 awards, $1.9 million), the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (2 awards, $2.4 million), and other USDA entities. This concentration reflects C G I's core capability as a pulse and grain merchant wholesaler — 44 awards sit under NAICS 424510 (Other Farm Product Raw Material Merchant Wholesalers) and 24 under NAICS 424520 (Grain and Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers). Across all work, the vendor procures and delivers prepackaged commodity food items (lentils in 50-kilogram bags, yellow split peas, and similar agricultural products) from domestic production or warehouse facilities (Hastings, Nebraska and Chester, Montana noted in recent awards) on fixed-price definitive contracts ranging from $293 thousand to $1.1 million per award.
Recent named work includes a $293 thousand definitive contract awarded June 2022 by the USDA Kansas City Commodity Office for delivery of 200,000 fifty-kilogram bags of lentils (ultimate completion August 2022), a $1.1 million March 2022 contract for 200 metric tons of yellow split peas (completion April 2022), and a $726 thousand September 2021 contract for yellow split peas (completion November 2021). Activity has slowed measurably — nine awards in 2021 declined to two in 2022, and no awards appear in the source after June 2022. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); there is no subcontract footprint. All work is unset-aside and competes on a full-and-open basis.
