About the company
Gulf Pacific Rice Co., LLC, doing business as Gulf Pacific, supplies rice and dry edible bean commodities to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food assistance and food donation programs as a prime contractor competing predominantly under small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements. The company is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Houston, Texas, with processing and distribution facilities in Weiner and McGehee, Arkansas; it qualifies as a small business and competes across both total small business and partial small business set-aside categories as well as unrestricted competition.
Gulf Pacific's federal portfolio is laser-focused on USDA commodity procurement. The company has secured approximately 375 prime definitive contracts valued at $190.2 million since 2021, all awarded through USDA divisions, with no subcontract activity. Its capability portfolio centers exclusively on the sourcing, processing, packaging, and delivery of rice (U.S. #2 long grain, U.S. #2 medium grain, brown parboiled, and parboiled varieties in 1, 2, 24, 25, and 30-pound packages) and dry edible beans (garbanzo, split pea, pinto, black turtle, navy, small red, great northern, baby lima, blackeye, dark red kidney, and light red kidney in 12/2-pound and 24/1-pound packages) to support the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, National School Lunch Program, and other domestic federal food donation initiatives. Recent representative awards include an $8.75 million firm fixed-price total small business set-aside from the Agricultural Marketing Service on April 23, 2026, for dry edible beans; a $10.2 million total small business set-aside from the Agricultural Marketing Service on April 23, 2026, for the same commodity categories; and a $3.3 million no-set-aside award from the Food and Nutrition Service on January 30, 2026, for U.S. #2 long grain rice. All awards carry firm fixed-price structures with ultimate completion dates aligned to quarterly delivery schedules, and all commodities must comply with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation requirements mandating U.S.-origin products grown, processed, and prepared exclusively within the United States.
Customer concentration is extreme. The Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 145 awards and $99.7 million in combined potential value; the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office accounts for 17 awards and $61.1 million; the Farm Service Agency accounts for 174 awards (no dollar value disclosed in the summary block but material aggregate contribution); and the Kansas City Commodity Office accounts for 6 awards and $10.3 million. These five customer entities account for 93% of awards by count and 91% of combined potential value by dollar magnitude. FNS and AMS dominate both metrics, making Gulf Pacific almost entirely dependent on USDA commodity procurement patterns.
Activity has grown modestly in the past two years — five awards in 2024 rising to twelve in 2025 and nine in 2026 — but the vendor's recompete exposure is minimal: only four awards (combined potential value $3.5 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete opportunity for competitors. Gulf Pacific's commodity base is segmented into two primary NAICS categories — Rice Milling (233 awards) and All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (10 awards) — and operates under PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables) for all awarded work. The vendor maintains no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs; every award is a standalone definitive contract issued directly under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures, making it a pure transactional commodity supplier rather than a strategic vehicle partner.
