Kent Corporation

Kent Corporation, doing business as Harvest Pride, is a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned, for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Roseburg, Oregon that operates as a prime contractor delivering agricultural products and helicopter operations support services to federal agencies, primarily the Department of Agriculture. The vendor competes under full-and-open designation across its portfolio rather than under formal set-aside categories, though its recent helicopter operations IDCs carry Total Small Business set-aside designation.

Harvest Pride's award footprint is dominated by agricultural commodities work. The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service accounts for 205 awards (73% of the vendor's 300-award portfolio) with combined potential value of $2.1 million; the Food and Nutrition Service follows with 9 awards and $961 thousand in combined potential value. The vendor's portfolio spans 1997 to present, with recent growth in helicopter operations support — the vendor holds two multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts from the USDA Forest Service National Interagency Fire Center, both with $250 thousand ceilings extending through May 10, 2029. The source's category concentration shows Fruit and Vegetable Canning dominates with 121 awards; primary NAICS classifications cluster around food manufacturing (112112 Fruit and Vegetable Canning, 311423 Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing) and agricultural support work (488190 Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). PSC code 9 (Fruits and Vegetables) appears across 223 awards.

Recent named work includes a $118.25 thousand firm fixed price delivery order awarded August 27, 2023 by the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region for forestry management products and services to the Roseburg area, and two helicopter operations support IDCs — one issued February 6, 2026 by the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) and another May 10, 2024 through the Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) system — both supporting fire suppression and all-hazard incident response with daily operational shifts up to 16 hours and inclusive of personnel, equipment, supplies, and transportation. Combined obligated dollars ($122.1 million) exceed combined potential value ($80.3 million) by 52 percent, indicating the vendor has delivered above contract ceiling on prior awards. Activity through the past five years shows minimal federal contracting volume in recent periods (one award in 2023, 2024, and 2026 respectively), with the portfolio's sustained volume anchored to a historical baseline of agricultural products awards extending back to the late 1990s.
