Commercial Lynks, Inc.

Commercial Lynks, Inc., a minority-owned, Subcontinent Asian American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, supplies bulk and packaged agricultural commodities—legumes, grains, and specialty crops—exclusively to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under firm-fixed-price definitive contracts. The company operates as a Subchapter S corporation and competes predominantly full-and-open on USDA commodity procurement, with occasional partial or total small business set-asides woven through its recent footprint.

Commercial Lynks' customer concentration is extreme and deliberate. The Department of Agriculture accounts for 98 percent of awards (641 of 654 recent awards), led decisively by the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office (397 awards, $114.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Foreign Agricultural Service (110 awards, $32.3 million), Food and Nutrition Service (79 awards, $16.6 million), and the Agricultural Marketing Service's Washington Office and Specialty Crops Program (54 awards, $15.5 million combined). The two rankings align tightly—USDA dominates both volume and dollars—reflecting a business model built on repeat commodity wins within a single agency ecosystem.

Commercial Lynks' capability portfolio centers entirely on food commodity supply. Representative recent work includes a $830,844 partial small business set-aside definitive contract awarded September 24, 2026, by the USDA Washington Office for dry split pea green beans packaged for domestic food assistance (NAICS 311999, PSC 8915); a $532,072.80 total small business set-aside awarded April 23, 2026, by the same office for mixed dry garbanzo and split green peas in 12-pack, 2-pound packages; a $1.6 million firm-fixed-price award from the Kansas City Commodity Office for 50-kilogram bags of sorghum; a $269,008.05 contract from the Foreign Agricultural Service for whole green peas in bulk; and a $158,124.96 award from the Food and Nutrition Service for rolled oats. The company supplies lentils, split peas, beans (garbanzo, black turtle, pinto, black), corn, wheat, sorghum, and oats in both bulk (50-kilogram bags) and packaged (12/2-pound or 12/18-ounce configurations) formats, with performance locations distributed across Texas, California, North Dakota, and Florida. All work is performed domestically with no subcontracting relationships across the active portfolio—Commercial Lynks operates as a pure prime, executing end-to-end supply chain and delivery responsibility.

Activity has declined markedly. The vendor received 30 awards in 2022, 24 in 2023, 16 in 2024, 9 in 2025, and 8 awards year-to-date through September 2026. Over 654 total awards spanning from October 2009 through September 2026, combined potential value sits at $181.9 million, with 100 percent obligated. The recompete cliff ahead is minimal—only 2 awards (combined potential value $989 thousand) reach completion in the next twenty-four months, signaling neither near-term recompete pressure nor significant new-opportunity leverage for competitors. NAICS concentration sits within agricultural commodity classes: All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (311999, 421 awards), Fruit and Vegetable Canning (74 awards), and Grain and Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers (27 awards) dominate the portfolio. PSC coding follows: Fruits and Vegetables (349 awards) and Food, Oils and Fats (235 awards) account for nearly 90 percent of the spend.

Commercial Lynks has operated as a sole-source, repeat vendor within USDA commodity procurement. The vendor carries no other-agency relationships, no subcontract positioning, and no parent vehicles or teaming arrangements in the source material. This is a specialized food commodity supplier locked into USDA food assistance and food security mission delivery, competing on price, capacity, and delivery logistics rather than technology, integration, or cross-agency reach.
