Georgia Federal-State Shipping Point Inspection Service, Inc.

Georgia Federal-State Shipping Point Inspection Service, Inc. (doing business as GA Fsspis), a nonprofit agricultural services organization based in Albany, Georgia, operates as a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, providing peanut sample grading, raisin inspection equipment, and specialty agricultural machinery to USDA research and commodity inspection programs. The vendor competes in full-and-open (no set-aside) federal procurement and generates revenue exclusively from USDA purchase orders ranging from $3,122 to $39,550.

GA Fsspis serves a single customer agency — the Department of Agriculture — across four distinct field operations and subordinate programs. The top customer line is USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Field Research Implementation and Information Delivery, which accounts for approximately 73% of combined potential value across eight awards totaling $64 thousand. The vendor also receives purchase orders from ARS's Plains Area division ($65 thousand across three awards), ARS's Central Program Planning Coordination and Support ($6 thousand), and USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program ($15 thousand for raisin inspection equipment). Thirteen of fourteen awards in the recent footprint are peanut-sample-grading orders; the fourteenth is a $14,800 equipment procurement (two F.M. Machine model 300 units for raisin inspection, crated and shipped to USDA's Western Operations Branch in Fresno, California, completed in September 2023). Representative work includes a $5,852 peanut sample grading purchase order awarded November 18, 2024 (completion January 31, 2025), a $4,438 peanut grading order from November 28, 2023 performed in Tifton, Georgia, and a $39,550 procurement of six peanut shellers with runner grids (110-volt, belt-driven) awarded July 19, 2022 for the ARS Plains Area.

Activity is sparse and episodic. The vendor received one award in 2024, two in 2023, three in 2022, and a single award each in 2021 and 2018; all fourteen awards in the source carry combined potential value of $156 thousand with 100% of that value obligated. GA Fsspis operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract work and no parent contract vehicle relationships; each award is a direct purchase order. The vendor holds no federal contract IDVs, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide vehicles. The portfolio is characterized by small dollar values, narrow commodity focus (peanuts and raisins), and deep specialization in agricultural testing and inspection equipment supply for USDA research facilities in the Southeast and Plains regions.
