SUN-MAID GROWERS OF CALIFORNIA

SUN-MAID GROWERS OF CALIFORNIA specializes in the manufacturing and packaging of dried and dehydrated food commodities for U.S. government food assistance programs. Their core capabilities center on the precise processing, quality control, and bulk packaging of raisins and other dried fruits to meet stringent federal nutrition and safety standards. The contractor demonstrates technical expertise in food dehydration, aseptic packaging, shelf-stable product formulation, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications for international and domestic humanitarian aid. Their differentiation lies in end-to-end control of the supply chain—from raw agricultural input to certified final packaging—ensuring consistency in product integrity, weight, and shelf life under demanding logistical conditions. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, delivering dried fruit commodities under the agency’s food donation and international assistance programs. Their work supports global food security initiatives by supplying pre-packaged, ready-to-distribute products that meet USDA’s nutritional guidelines and packaging requirements for humanitarian distribution. Their primary industry focus is NAICS 311423—Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing—where they operate as a niche supplier of shelf-stable, nutrient-dense dried fruit products tailored for government procurement. This vertical specialization positions them as a trusted source for high-volume, low-moisture food commodities requiring strict adherence to food safety protocols and packaging durability standards. As a 2L entity based in Fresno, California, SUN-MAID GROWERS OF CALIFORNIA operates as a vertically integrated agricultural processor with deep regional sourcing capabilities. While no federal certifications are listed, their consistent performance on USDA contracts reflects established compliance with federal food safety, labeling, and logistics requirements. Their geographic proximity to California’s Central Valley agricultural heartland enables efficient raw material sourcing and rapid response to government procurement demands.
