About North Bay Produce Inc.
North Bay Produce Inc., a small agricultural cooperative based in Traverse City, Michigan, supplies fresh domestically produced apples exclusively to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The company is a Department of Transportation-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and operates 100% as a direct prime — no subcontractors — focused on commodity procurement for federal food assistance programs.
North Bay Produce holds a narrow but deep customer footprint within USDA. All 32 recent awards span four USDA operating units: the Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (13 awards, $10.6 million combined potential value), the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office (6 awards, $10.5 million), the Food and Nutrition Service (9 awards, $4.6 million), and Agricultural Marketing Service (4 awards). The split between USDA AMS and FSA anchors most volume and dollars — the two offices account for the top potential-value tier and dominate award frequency. This concentration reflects North Bay Produce's role as a reliable supplier to USDA's domestic food assistance and commodity procurement initiatives, including the National School Lunch Program and SNAP-related nutrition assistance.
The company's capability portfolio is laser-focused: fresh apples in multiple varieties (Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Empire, Braeburn) supplied in 40-pound cartons, 3-pound consumer packages, and 600-pound bins, all maintained under Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices certifications and required to be U.S. domestic products under Agricultural Acquisition Regulation compliance. Recent representative awards include a $2.879 million firm-fixed-price contract with USDA AMS (September 2025) for fresh packaged apples in 3-pound consumer packages to support domestic food assistance, a $4.207 million AMS contract (September 2024) for various apple types in cartons and bags, a $641,348 AMS commodity procurement award (January 2024), and an $84,130 Food and Nutrition Service contract (February 2026) for fresh Fuji apples in 40-pound cartons delivered to Bailey, Michigan.
Activity shows variability: three awards in 2022, two in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and one in early 2026. Combined potential value across all 33 awards stands at $25.7 million, with cumulative federal contract awards exceeding $10 million since 2021. The company operates performance and delivery logistics from Bailey, Michigan, supplying destinations across the continental United States. North Bay Produce has been a federal vendor since at least 2001 (per DBE certification date) and carries a track record as a consistent supplier to USDA food assistance programs with no identified recompete cliff or parent vehicle participation.
