FRANK M. GARGIULO & SON, INC.

FRANK M. GARGIULO & SON, INC. specializes in the manufacturing and supply of perishable prepared foods, fresh produce, and roasted nuts for federal institutional feeding programs. The company’s core capabilities include the sourcing, processing, and packaging of fresh fruits such as pears, mandarins, blueberries, plums, and apples; the preparation of baking potatoes; and the production of roasted nuts and peanut butter formulations compliant with military and veteran nutrition standards. Their technical expertise lies in cold-chain logistics, food safety protocols, and batch consistency for high-volume, time-sensitive government contracts, with a demonstrated ability to handle delicate perishables under strict USDA and DoD quality controls. Key differentiators include precision handling of temperature-sensitive commodities and consistent delivery of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products tailored to institutional requirements. The contractor maintains a primary relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying fresh produce and nut-based food items to military dining facilities, field rations support systems, and installation commissaries. Their work for the VA and USDA involves similar perishable food manufacturing, suggesting a focus on nutritionally balanced, ready-to-serve components for veteran and public health programs. Industry focus centers on NAICS 311991 (perishable prepared food manufacturing) and 311911 (roasted nuts and peanut butter manufacturing), positioning the firm as a niche supplier in fresh, minimally processed food products for federal feeding operations. They operate as a small, family-owned business under the 2L entity structure, with no federal certifications on record. Based in Hillside, New Jersey, the company serves as a regional hub for East Coast federal food supply chains, leveraging its manufacturing infrastructure to meet the logistical demands of large-scale government procurement.
