Quality Produce LLC

Quality Produce LLC, doing business as Quality Produce Gema Sales, supplies fresh produce, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables to federal correctional institutions as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. The Opelika, Alabama-based sole proprietorship holds SAM.gov registration dating to 2001 and competes exclusively under small-business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Quality Produce's customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons accounts for 252 of 257 awards (98% of the portfolio) across four facilities. Federal Correctional Institution Talladega leads by award count with 101 purchase orders totaling $1.2 million in combined potential value, followed by United States Penitentiary Atlanta (94 awards, $1.1 million), Federal Correctional Institution Maxwell (52 awards, $1.5 million), and Federal Correctional Institution Aliceville (5 awards, $105 thousand). These four BOP facilities anchor 94% of the combined potential value across all awards. Representative work includes a $36,672 purchase order from Federal Correctional Institution Maxwell dated July 1, 2026, for food products through September 30, 2026; a $99,296.50 order from the same facility dated July 30, 2024, for food service through December 12, 2025; and a $60,806.32 order dated October 1, 2025, for food service through May 13, 2026. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders designated as total small business set-asides, with individual contract values typically ranging from $9,830 to $99,296.

Quality Produce's product mix reflects standardized BOP nutrition procurement. The top NAICS categories are Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (88 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (70 awards), and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (45 awards). The top PSC codes are Fruits and Vegetables (179 awards) and Dairy Foods and Eggs (59 awards). Activity has declined materially: fourteen awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, eight in 2024, seven in 2025, and two in 2026. Only one award with a combined potential value of $37 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window. The vendor holds no parent contracts or vehicles and operates exclusively as a direct prime to four Bureau of Prisons facilities. One federal grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (CFDA not specified) dated January 3, 2022, and completing January 2, 2023, supported COVID-19 pandemic response costs including workplace safety, market pivots, and transportation.
