William George Produce Co., Inc.

William George Produce Co., Inc. Lufkin Division, doing business as William George Company, Inc., is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and small business that supplies fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, and processed food items to the Federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides, with all work performed directly from its Lufkin, Texas distribution center without subcontractors. The for-profit corporation competes exclusively within set-aside vehicles and holds SAM.gov registration dating to 2002.

The vendor's federal footprint is entirely concentrated in produce supply to Bureau of Prisons facilities. The top five customers by award count and potential value are identical, indicating tight concentration: the Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (381 awards, $6.2 million combined potential value), the Federal Correctional Complex Pollock (145 awards, $1.2 million), the Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana (136 awards, $991 thousand), the Federal Correctional Institution Oakdale (97 awards, $692 thousand), and the Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale (85 awards, $470 thousand). These five facilities account for 78% of all awards and 86% of combined potential value; essentially all recent work flows through these five Bureau of Prisons locations across Texas and Louisiana.

Over the past four years, award volume has contracted sharply—from 48 awards in 2022 to 27 in 2023, 21 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 3 in 2026—reflecting either declining Bureau of Prisons procurement or competitive attrition. Combined potential value across the full award population stands at $11.1 million with $10.1 million obligated (91% execution rate). Work is classified across five NAICS categories: Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (465 awards), Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (221 awards), Fruit and Vegetable Canning (100 awards), Food Service Contractors (95 awards), and General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (94 awards). The PSC profile is dominated by Fruits and Vegetables (935 awards) with minor Food, Oils and Fats (92 awards) exposure.

The vendor sits on three indefinite delivery contracts but places minimal task orders—six task orders under SPM30006AFA16 ($3 thousand combined value) and five under SPM30005AFA16, indicating these vehicles are not primary sources of revenue. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, with $263 thousand in potential value at recompete risk. Recent representative contracts include a $263,164.98 Total Small Business purchase order from Federal Correctional Complex Beaumont (October 1, 2026) for weekly fresh produce delivery through December 31, 2026; a $129,587.27 award for applesauce products to FCC Beaumont (April 29, 2025); and a $108,799.50 weekly produce contract with Federal Correctional Institution Texarkana (October 1, 2025). In 2022, the vendor received a $15,355 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service to support pandemic-related operational costs, its only federal grant award in the source data.
