About the company
Peterson Farms Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of canned, frozen, and processed fruit products headquartered in Shelby, Michigan, supplies bulk commodities for domestic food assistance programs to the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal contracts with no set-aside designation. The company operates processing facilities in Shelby, Michigan; Akron, Ohio; and DeLand, Florida, and competes exclusively for large-volume commodity procurements under NAICS 311411 (Frozen Fruit, Juice, and Vegetable Manufacturing), NAICS 311991 (Fruit and Vegetable Canning), and PSC 8915.
Peterson Farms' federal footprint centers entirely on USDA commodity food procurement. The top three customer offices account for 92% of recent awards by count and 95% of combined potential value: the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office (51 awards, $94.6 million), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (27 awards, $59.9 million), and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program (48 awards, $57 million). The vendor supplies frozen and canned fruits — particularly sweet pitted cherries, apples for further processing, applesauce cups in institutional packaging (96 four-ounce servings), frozen blueberries, apple slices, and fruit juices — for distribution through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and the National School Lunch Program. Representative recent work includes a $2.78 million August 2026 definitive contract for bulk apples (Gala, Pink Lady, Cameo, Ambrosia, Minneiska, Honey Crisp, Empire, Jonagold, Rome, Ida Red, Golden Delicious, and Jonathan varieties) delivered to Tracy, California and Ludington, Michigan; a $3.1 million December 2025 award for applesauce cups in 96 four-ounce servings; a $6.4 million September 2024 delivery order covering bulk apples, canned applesauce cups, frozen apple slices, frozen sweet pitted cherries, frozen highbush blueberries, and fruit juices; and a $5.6 million May 2024 definitive contract for 2,000,010 pounds of bulk apples for further processing.
Peterson Farms holds five active Indefinite Delivery Contracts with USDA: IDC 123J1422D0046 ($12.8 million ceiling, Food and Nutrition Service, two task orders), IDC 123J1424D0082 ($1.1 million, one task order), IDC 123J1424D0224 ($6.4 million, one task order), IDC 123J1425D0012 ($354 thousand, one task order), and IDC 123J1425D0064 ($4.2 million, one task order). These vehicles support ongoing delivery orders for commodity fruit products with firm fixed-price terms and FOB origin or destination delivery. All products are required to be grown, processed, and prepared exclusively in the United States in compliance with federal agricultural procurement regulations.
Award activity has remained steady with moderate growth: seven awards in 2022, six in 2023, thirteen in 2024, ten in 2025, and six awards through August 2026. Over the past fifteen years, Peterson Farms has received 152 prime contracts and delivery orders totaling $223.7 million in combined potential value, with $209 million obligated (93% execution rate). Three awards (combined potential value $5.2 million) face ultimate completion and recompete within the next twenty-four months. Peterson Farms competes as 100% prime contractor — no subcontract footprint is present in the source data. The vendor is a non-SBA-certified, non-disadvantaged, non-veteran-owned entity and competes entirely under full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside protection, positioning it as an established large-scale commodity supplier rather than a set-aside-eligible vendor.
