IRVING FARMS MARKETING, INC.

Irving Farms Marketing, Inc. specializes in the procurement, packaging, and distribution of fresh perishable agricultural commodities for U.S. government food assistance programs. Their core capability centers on the end-to-end logistics of fresh potato supply chains, including bulk bagging, quality control, cold chain management, and compliance with federal food donation standards. The company demonstrates technical expertise in handling USDA-compliant fresh produce specifications, ensuring consistent product integrity from farm to distribution point under strict temperature and sanitation protocols. Their specialization in russet and white potato varieties for pre-packaged 10-pack, 5-pound units reflects a focused mastery of commodity-grade produce handling, with an emphasis on shelf-life preservation, labeling accuracy, and timely delivery to domestic and international humanitarian aid channels. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, exclusively delivering commodities under its food donation initiatives. Their work supports global food aid programs and domestic nutrition assistance by supplying high-volume, standardized fresh potato products that meet federal nutritional and safety benchmarks. This sustained engagement indicates deep familiarity with USDA procurement cycles, contract reporting requirements, and the operational demands of large-scale humanitarian logistics. Irving Farms Marketing operates primarily within NAICS 311991, Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing, which in practice involves transforming raw agricultural output into government-ready, consumer-packaged food commodities. Their market positioning is that of a niche supplier with precision in perishable produce handling, serving a highly regulated segment of the federal food procurement market. As a small, locally based entity in Caribou, Maine, with no federal certifications listed, the company functions as a specialized regional supplier with a focused role in the USDA’s agricultural commodity distribution network. Their business model leverages localized sourcing and logistics efficiency to meet federal demand for fresh, non-perishable-ready food items.
