BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS, INC.

BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS, INC. specializes in the preparation, freezing, and packaging of high-quality seafood products for U.S. government food assistance programs. Their core capabilities center on the precise handling, portioning, and cryogenic freezing of wild-caught fillets—including Pacific rockfish and salmon—to meet stringent federal food safety and shelf-life standards. The company demonstrates technical expertise in controlled cold-chain logistics, vacuum packaging, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications for frozen seafood distribution. Their process rigor ensures product integrity from raw material receipt through final packaging, with a focus on consistent weight tolerances, microbial control, and labeling accuracy for federal donation programs. Key differentiators include their ability to manage multi-species seafood lines under tight delivery windows while maintaining traceability and HACCP compliance. The contractor has established a consistent working relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering frozen seafood commodities under its international and domestic food donation initiatives. Their work supports USDA’s mission to provide nutritionally adequate, shelf-stable protein sources to underserved populations and global aid partners, with a clear emphasis on wild-caught, minimally processed products that align with dietary guidelines and cultural preferences. Operating under NAICS 311710, BORNSTEIN SEAFOODS, INC. is positioned as a niche supplier in the federal seafood commodities market, specializing in frozen fillet preparation rather than broad-scale processing. Their vertical focus is exclusively on marine protein products destined for government-assisted nutrition programs, distinguishing them from general food manufacturers. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Bellingham, Washington, the company leverages its Pacific Northwest location for direct access to sustainable wild fisheries. It currently holds no federal certifications, but its operational model reflects deep familiarity with USDA commodity procurement protocols and food safety regulations governing federal assistance programs.
