W.h. Moseley CO.

W.H. Moseley CO., a woman-owned small business based in Boise, Idaho, supplies frozen and canned agricultural commodities—primarily potatoes, pears, tomatoes, and vegetable products—to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under partial and total small business set-asides and full-and-open competitive awards. The company operates as a for-profit Subchapter S corporation and competes across both set-aside (partial small business, total small business) and unrestricted delivery-order and definitive-contract vehicles, with recent activity skewing heavily toward USDA commodity procurement for domestic food assistance programs.

W.H. Moseley's customer concentration is extremely narrow and agency-specific. The Department of Agriculture accounts for the overwhelming share of activity—71% of recent awards (389 of 550 total primes across the source window) flow to USDA offices, with the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office leading by potential value at $36 million across 27 awards, followed by the Food and Nutrition Service at $29.9 million across 25 awards and the Specialty Crops Program at $20.6 million across 20 awards. The Defense Logistics Agency represents a secondary customer at 269 awards, though dollar magnitude on DLA work is not separately detailed in the ranking. The top five customer components account for 71% of awards but diverge from potential-value concentration—USDA's regional and programmatic splits by potential value paint a picture of a vendor whose recent footprint is almost entirely commodity procurement for food donation and domestic food assistance initiatives.

Representative recent work includes a $3.7 million definitive contract from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (awarded June 28, 2024) for frozen potato wedges and oven fries in support of food banks and schools with place of performance in Easton, Maine; an $8.2 million definitive contract (also June 28, 2024, same funding office) for frozen potato and sweet potato products in multiple cuts; and a $204 thousand delivery order from USDA Food and Nutrition Service (June 18, 2026) for canned pear slices under partial small business set-aside with place of performance in Vancouver, Washington. W.H. Moseley holds a current indefinite delivery contract with USDA Food and Nutrition Service valued at $931 thousand (awarded June 24, 2025, through September 30, 2026) for canned and frozen commodity foods including pear slices and diced pears.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized: frozen potato products (wedges, oven fries, diced, french fries, chunks) and canned vegetables (tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, pear slices, diced pears) dominate the award record. Top NAICS categories confirm this focus—Frozen Fruit, Juice, and Vegetable Manufacturing (49 awards), Fruit and Vegetable Canning (21 awards), and Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing (23 awards)—with nearly all 550 awards clustered under PSC code Fruits And Vegetables (542 awards). Activity is primarily delivery orders and definitive contracts (firm fixed price, fixed price with economic price adjustment) placed under various USDA indefinite delivery vehicles, with performance locations concentrated in agricultural processing regions (Wisconsin Rapids, Easton, Maine, Grand Forks, North Dakota, and similar commodity-handling hubs).

Recent trajectory shows modest activity in the past two years—four awards in 2025 and two in 2026 year-to-date—a decline from five awards in 2024 and three in 2023. Only two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $403 thousand, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, serving as a direct commodity supplier rather than a systems integrator or services vendor. W.H. Moseley's positioning is that of a specialized agricultural commodities vendor locked into USDA food assistance procurement—a narrow but established market with recurring seasonal demand.
