Trinity Packaging LLC

Trinity Packaging LLC, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, packages agricultural commodities—principally yellow split peas and vegetable oil—for federal food assistance programs as a prime contractor (100% of awards), operating from production facilities in Minot, North Dakota and Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Trinity Packaging's customer base is entirely concentrated within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with 100% of its 196 recent awards and $108.9 million in combined potential value flowing through four USDA offices. The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency Kansas City Commodity Office dominates the portfolio, accounting for 154 awards valued at $103 million combined potential value. The Foreign Agricultural Service places 40 awards worth $5.4 million, with single awards from the Food for Progress program ($512 thousand) and the Food and Nutrition Service ($72 thousand) rounding out the customer set. Both customer-count and potential-value rankings are identical, reflecting Trinity Packaging's singular strategic focus on USDA commodity procurement.

Trinity Packaging's work consists entirely of definitive fixed-price contracts for procurement and packaging of food commodities destined for U.S. government food donations supporting domestic nutrition programs (such as Food for Peace) and international food assistance initiatives. Recent representative awards include a $2.337 million firm fixed-price contract from the Kansas City Commodity Office awarded January 18, 2024, for 200,000 pounds of yellow split peas in 50-kilogram bags with performance in Minot; a $650,707 contract from the Foreign Agricultural Service awarded May 20, 2026, for yellow split peas under partial small business set-aside; and a $1.513 million contract from the Kansas City Commodity Office awarded August 3, 2022, for vegetable oil in 4-liter cans under HUBZone set-aside, with performance in Fort Smith. Trinity Packaging operates under NAICS 311211 (Flour Milling) and primary PSC 8920 (Bakery and Cereal Products), with secondary NAICS codes addressing fats and oils refining.

Activity trajectory has contracted sharply from 21 awards in 2022 to a single award in 2025 and two awards in the first half of 2026. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, combined potential value $887 thousand—a minimal recompete exposure relative to historical volumes. Trinity Packaging competes predominantly under partial small business set-asides and HUBZone designations, though recent awards (May–June 2026) show no set-aside designation. The vendor carries no subcontract footprint; all 196 awards reflect prime performance. Trinity Packaging has held federal contracts continuously since at least September 2016, establishing a fifteen-year track record as a specialized agricultural commodity packager for USDA food aid and commodity programs.
