CUSTOM PRODUCE SALES

Custom Produce Sales specializes in the procurement, packaging, and distribution of fresh perishable commodities for U.S. government food donation programs. Their core capabilities center on the handling and supply of high-volume, temperature-sensitive agricultural products—including fresh plums and grapes—meeting stringent federal food safety and quality standards. The contractor demonstrates technical expertise in cold chain logistics, bulk commodity consolidation, and compliance with USDA food donation specifications, ensuring product integrity from farm to distribution point. Their specialization lies in delivering consistent, shelf-stable fresh produce under controlled conditions, with precise labeling and documentation aligned with federal procurement protocols. Key differentiators include precision in variety selection, batch traceability, and adherence to USDA commodity donation guidelines, enabling reliable fulfillment of humanitarian food aid requirements. The contractor maintains a focused relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, consistently supplying fresh fruit commodities under its food assistance and international donation initiatives. Their work supports USDA’s mission to distribute surplus agricultural products to domestic and global food aid programs, requiring deep familiarity with federal commodity allocation systems, inspection protocols, and delivery scheduling for humanitarian use. Their primary industry focus is perishable prepared food manufacturing, as defined by NAICS 311991, which encompasses the preparation, packaging, and distribution of unprocessed or minimally processed fruits for institutional and emergency use. This positions them as a niche supplier within the federal food aid supply chain, specializing in fresh produce rather than processed or shelf-stable items. They serve a critical role in maintaining the freshness and nutritional value of donated commodities. Custom Produce Sales operates as a small, locally based entity in Parlier, California, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to major agricultural regions supports efficient sourcing and rapid response to USDA demand cycles. They are positioned as a reliable, regionally embedded vendor within the government’s fresh produce procurement network, emphasizing operational agility and product consistency over scale or certification-based compliance.
