PW Montgomery LLC

PW Montgomery LLC, a small agricultural cooperative based in Greeley, Colorado, supplies packaged dry beans and legume commodities to the Department of Agriculture as a 100% prime contractor under small business set-asides, with no subcontract work.

PW Montgomery operates exclusively within the USDA food assistance ecosystem, competing predominantly under Total Small Business and Partial Small Business set-asides across definitive contracts ranging from $30 thousand to $5.4 million. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on procurement and packaging of dry edible beans (pinto, navy, great northern, blackeye, light red kidney, garbanzo), lentils, and split peas in consumer-ready formats (1-pound bags, 2-pound bags, 12-count and 24-count cases) and bulk configurations (2,000-pound totes, 50-kilogram bags) for domestic food assistance programs including the National School Lunch Program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and international food donations. Representative recent awards include a $3.88 million Total Small Business definitive contract from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Washington Office in September 2025 for great northern, pinto, and black turtle beans; a $1.82 million Partial Small Business definitive contract from AMS Washington Office in September 2026 for lentils, garbanzo beans, and pinto beans; and a $1.32 million Total Small Business definitive contract from USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in August 2025 for great northern beans, pinto beans, and lentils in multiple packaging configurations.

Customer concentration is tightly confined to five USDA sub-agencies representing 97% of recent awards. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office leads by potential value, with 29 awards worth $32 million combined; the Food and Nutrition Service follows with 47 awards (the highest award count) totaling $19.8 million combined potential value; the Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office accounts for 22 awards worth $8.8 million; the Foreign Agricultural Service holds 8 awards worth $2.2 million; and the Foreign Agricultural Service Food for Progress program carries 2 awards totaling $749 thousand. The gap between volume and value rankings reflects FNS's many smaller individual task orders against a baseline of consistent repeat demand, while AMS Washington Office concentrates larger dollar awards.

Activity has remained consistent at nine to thirteen awards annually over the past five years, with 111 total prime awards and $64.5 million in combined potential value across the source data window (first award September 2009). PW Montgomery holds a multiple-award indefinite delivery contract (Indefinite Delivery Contract 123J1423D0093) with USDA AMS for navy dry beans, valued at $2.2 million, from which one $1.9 million task order was issued for 200,000 pounds of bagged navy beans in January 2023. Six awards totaling $8.5 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure in that window.

All commodities are certified U.S. grown and processed per Agricultural Acquisition Regulation domestic-source requirements. Place of performance splits between two facilities: Devils Lake, North Dakota and Holyoke, Colorado. Work falls under NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables) for packaged bean work, with subsidiary codes 8945 (Food, Oils and Fats) and 8910 (Beans, Dry) appearing in international commodity procurements. As a small agricultural cooperative structured as a for-profit limited liability partnership, PW Montgomery competes exclusively in small business set-aside space and does not pursue full-and-open opportunities or maintain subcontract relationships.
