About the company
Hirzel Canning Company, a family-owned manufacturer of canned tomato and peach products based in Northwood, Ohio, supplies commodity foods to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor on firm-fixed-price definitive contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles, competing entirely full-and-open (no set-aside designations on the majority of its awards, though partial small business set-asides appear on roughly one-third of the definitive contracts in recent years).
The company's capability portfolio is narrow and concrete: canned diced tomatoes (24/300 and 6/10 can formats), tomato sauce, meatless spaghetti sauce, frozen peach slices, and diced frozen peaches for federal domestic food assistance programs including the National School Lunch Program. Representative recent work includes a $2.064 million partial small business set-aside definitive contract from USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) awarded November 2024 for tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce to be performed at Pemberville, Ohio; a $1.557 million partial small business set-aside definitive contract from FNS (July 2025) for tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce; a $1.032 million delivery order from FNS (August 2026, completion December 2026) for diced tomatoes in 24/300 can format at Northwood; and a $973 thousand delivery order from USDA Washington Office (November 2024) for frozen peach products. The company also received a $1 million REAP Renewable Energy System Grant from USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services, noted in multiple contract summaries, for facility sustainability improvements.
Customer concentration is extreme and singular: the Department of Agriculture accounts for all tracked awards. Within USDA, the Food and Nutrition Service dominates, holding 79 of 175 prime awards (45% of the portfolio by count) with $36.3 million in combined potential value — roughly 82% of the company's total dollar exposure. The Agricultural Marketing Service (including its Washington Office) and Farm Service Agency variants collectively account for the remaining tracked awards. This concentration reflects Hirzel Canning's role as a commodity supplier to a single federal program family rather than diversified federal customer engagement.
Hirzel Canning holds positions on four named indefinite delivery vehicles: IDC 123J1423D0120 (4 task orders, $280 thousand combined value), IDC 123J1425D0051 (3 task orders, $1.6 million), IDC 123J1424D0140 (2 task orders, $1.5 million), and IDC 123J1426D0028 (2 task orders, $1.1 million). These vehicles enable USDA to issue delivery orders for canned vegetables and fruits as needed through September 2027. The most recent IDV award (April 2026, completion September 2027) carries a $2.791 million ceiling for diced tomatoes to support school lunch and nutrition assistance programs.
Award activity has remained flat at 6–7 awards per year from 2023 through 2026, with 175 total prime awards recorded since 1990. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The company does not subcontract and operates exclusively as a prime, with no recorded federal grant or contract sub-award activity. All products must meet U.S.-origin requirements under Agricultural Acquisition Regulation standards and are sourced and delivered from Ohio facilities (Northwood headquarters and Pemberville manufacturing and fulfillment operations). Hirzel Canning has maintained SAM registration since July 2001, reflecting decades of continuous federal contracting history.
