Mcnew's Produce Co

Mcnew's Produce Co, doing business as Mcnew's Grocery & Produce, is a for-profit regional food supplier based in Henderson, Texas that delivers fresh produce and eggs to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

The company operates exclusively as a prime vendor (100% of awards) with no subcontract work. Recent representative awards include an $18,494.75 firm fixed-price purchase order from the Federal Correctional Complex Forrest City on February 11, 2025 for produce and eggs delivery; a $23,496 purchase order from the same facility on March 25, 2025 for weekly produce; and a $19,716 purchase order awarded March 23, 2026 for produce deliveries in late March 2026. Work is performed in Henderson, Texas with direct delivery to federal correctional facilities across Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. The top five correctional complexes account for 60% of recent awards by count, led by the Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (287 awards, $2.4 million combined potential value), Federal Correctional Institution Seagoville (264 awards, $1.3 million), Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (240 awards, $3 million), Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale (173 awards, $1.3 million), and Federal Correctional Complex Yazoo City (129 awards, $1.8 million). By potential value, Beaumont leads at $3 million, with Pollock second at $2.4 million. The company serves twelve distinct customer agencies, though the Bureau of Prisons facilities dominate both award volume and dollar magnitude.

Mcnew's operates under a single Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPAMCNEWSPRODUCE) carrying seven task orders. The vendor's work centers on fresh produce and vegetable merchant wholesaling (627 of 1,825 awards) and miscellaneous food manufacturing and distribution (472 awards), with secondary exposure to perishable prepared food manufacturing (278 awards) and food service contracting (192 awards). Awards are categorized primarily under PSC Fruits and Vegetables (1,529 awards) and Food, Oils and Fats (207 awards).

Activity has remained modest — averaging two to four awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — generating combined potential value of $14.9 million across 1,825 awards since 1999, with $15.2 million in obligations recorded. The vendor's award history spans twenty-five years of consistent supply to federal correctional institutions in the South and Southwest, with the most recent award dated August 4, 2026.
