About the company
Red Gold, Inc., doing business as Red Gold, manufactures and supplies canned tomato products to the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service as a prime contractor in full-and-open federal procurement, with no set-aside posture and cumulative USDA awards exceeding $417.6 million since 2004.
Red Gold is a for-profit tomato processing company headquartered in Elwood, Indiana, operating vertically integrated manufacturing and distribution from facilities in Elwood, Geneva, and Orestes, Indiana. The company operates under NAICS 311421 (Fruit and Vegetable Canning) and PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables), competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no reliance on small business set-asides, 8(a), HUBZone, or other SBA designations. Red Gold manufactures and delivers all products directly from its Indiana facilities without major subcontractors, ensuring consistent supply of domestically produced commodities in compliance with Agricultural Acquisition Regulation sourcing requirements.
The company's customer base is heavily concentrated within USDA. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 238 awards ($221.5 million combined potential value), while the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service Washington Office holds 74 awards ($118.4 million), and the Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program holds 70 awards ($45.7 million). Together, these three divisions account for 91% of recent awards and 94% of combined potential value. Red Gold's contract portfolio spans diced tomatoes (24-count 300-milliliter cans and 6/10-ounce cans), tomato sauce, meatless spaghetti sauce, tomato salsa, and tomato paste for bulk processing, all distributed to support domestic food assistance programs including the National School Lunch Program, food banks, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Red Gold holds multiple active indefinite-delivery contracts with the USDA. The top vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract 123J1425D0056 with 15 task orders totaling $9.3 million combined potential value; Contract 123J1424D0211 carries 9 task orders worth $7.6 million; Contract 123J1423D0124 holds 9 task orders at $1.7 million; Contract 123J1419D0920 carries 6 task orders at $2.1 million; and Contract 123J1419D0929 holds 4 task orders at $2 million. These vehicles enable the USDA to place flexible delivery orders for canned tomato commodities as needed. Representative recent definitive contracts include a $3.28 million award from the Food and Nutrition Service in December 2025 for tomato sauce and meatless spaghetti sauce in 24-count 300-milliliter cans; a $2.49 million Agricultural Marketing Service award in November 2023 for tomato salsa, paste, sauce, and spaghetti sauce in mixed configurations; and a $7.28 million Food and Nutrition Service delivery order in November 2023 for diced tomatoes in 24-count cans supporting food donation programs.
Activity has remained steady over the past five years, with 20 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 25 in 2024, 29 in 2025, and 17 through August 2026. The company faces minimal recompete pressure — only 5 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $4.1 million, leaving the vast majority of the active portfolio unchallenged through at least late 2027. Red Gold's first award in the source data dates to August 1991, establishing over three decades of USDA supplier history. Of 430 total awards, all 430 are prime awards; the vendor has no subcontractor footprint and receives no sub-awards. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $332 million, representing 80% execution against $417.6 million combined potential value, indicating strong payment performance on commodity delivery obligations.
