WASHINGTON STATE FRUIT COMMISSION

The Washington State Fruit Commission is a state-level entity focused on promoting, regulating, and supporting the fruit industry within Washington State. Its core capabilities center on agricultural program administration, commodity marketing, quality assurance, and industry advocacy, particularly for tree fruits such as apples, cherries, and pears. The organization provides technical guidance to growers on compliance with state and federal agricultural standards, coordinates research initiatives related to crop health and sustainable production, and facilitates market access through domestic and international promotion campaigns. Its technical expertise includes crop inspection protocols, pesticide residue monitoring, phytosanitary certification, and supply chain coordination aligned with USDA and FDA regulatory frameworks. Key differentiators include deep regional knowledge of Pacific Northwest horticulture and established partnerships with grower cooperatives and state agricultural extension services. No award history is available to infer specific federal agency engagements, and no contract data is provided to identify recurring federal clients or program types. Consequently, no agency experience can be documented based on the provided information. The primary NAICS code, 926140, classifies the entity as “Other Agricultural Regulation,” indicating its role in state-level agricultural oversight rather than federal contracting. Its market positioning is as a regulatory and promotional body within the agricultural sector, focused on intra-state industry support rather than federal procurement. The entity operates as a state commission under structure 2A, indicating it is a government entity with a quasi-public governance model. It holds no federal certifications and is geographically anchored in Yakima, Washington, serving as a regional hub for fruit industry regulation and promotion. Its presence is confined to state-level operations with no indication of federal contracting activity.
