J.G. Boswell Company is a for-profit agricultural commodity supplier based in Pasadena, California, with a specialized focus on providing canned tomato products to federal food assistance programs. Registered in SAM.gov since 2010, the company primarily operates as a corporate entity supplying agricultural commodities to government agencies. The company's federal contract and grant history demonstrates a strong presence in agricultural product procurement, specifically focused on delivering domestically produced tomato-based products such as tomato paste, sauce, and salsa to support national food assistance initiatives.

Through federal contract awards, J.G. Boswell Company has consistently secured contracts with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) for delivering canned tomato products. These contracts, ranging from $326,876.76 to $499,891.14, are designed to support domestic food donations and assistance programs. The contracts have specific requirements, including that all products must be grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States. While the solicitations included small business set-asides (such as 50% of spaghetti sauce for small businesses and 30% of tomato sauce for small businesses), J.G. Boswell Company's awards did not utilize these set-aside designations. The contract periods typically run through September or April of their respective years, with delivery locations spanning multiple regions across the United States.

In terms of federal grant awards, J.G. Boswell Company received a pandemic-related grant from the Agricultural Marketing Service to support costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The grant, awarded on January 3, 2022, with a completion date of January 2, 2023, was specifically designed to provide relief to food processors, distributors, and producers. The grant covered various potential expenses, including workplace safety measures, market pivots, facility retrofitting, transportation, worker housing, and medical expenses. The funding was intended to support employees of food processors and distributors during the challenging period between January 27, 2020, and December 31, 2021, when the public health emergency was in effect.
