Simmons Prepared Foods, Inc. Simmons Prepared Foods Division is a registered federal contractor specializing in the production and supply of frozen and chilled chicken products to the U.S. government. As a for-profit organization and manufacturer of goods, Simmons Prepared Foods has been actively engaged in federal contracting since at least 2020, with its most recent contract award in January 2024. The company primarily fulfills contracts for various agencies within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), including the Food and Nutrition Service, Agricultural Marketing Service, and Farm Service Agency. These contracts support domestic food assistance programs and USDA commodity procurement initiatives.

The goods provided by Simmons Prepared Foods through federal contracts encompass a wide range of chicken products. These include frozen chicken strips and fillets, individually quick frozen chicken breasts, frozen chicken drumsticks and thighs, and chilled bulk chicken legs. Contract values have ranged from approximately $215,000 to over $6.2 million, with performance periods typically spanning several months. The company fulfills these contracts at its facilities in Arkansas, specifically in Van Buren and Siloam Springs. Notably, none of the reviewed contracts included set-aside designations, indicating that Simmons Prepared Foods competes for these awards in the open market. The consistent nature of these awards suggests that Simmons Prepared Foods has established itself as a reliable supplier of chicken products for federal food assistance and distribution programs.
