Peanut Farming

NAICS 111992 – Peanut Farming covers the cultivation and harvesting of peanuts for commercial sale, including both shelling and seed-grade production. This sector involves specialized agricultural practices such as soil preparation, pest and disease management, irrigation scheduling, and mechanical harvesting using specialized equipment like diggers and shakers. While primarily a commercial agricultural activity, peanut farming may intersect with federal procurement through contracts supporting food security programs, military rations, nutrition assistance for federal facilities, and research initiatives led by the USDA. The industry operates within a highly regulated framework governed by crop insurance, commodity programs, and food safety standards, making compliance and supply chain traceability critical for contractors seeking to engage with government buyers. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating that no significant government contracting activity has been recorded through our platform. This suggests that peanut farming is not typically sourced through traditional federal procurement channels but may occur indirectly via food service contracts or agricultural research grants. No agency data is available for this NAICS code, reflecting a lack of direct federal procurement activity tied to peanut production. Any government involvement is likely embedded within broader agricultural support programs administered by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency or Agricultural Research Service, rather than through discrete acquisition vehicles. The competitive landscape for government contracting in this sector is sparse, with limited opportunity density for traditional contractors. Opportunities may arise through small business set-asides in agricultural research, crop resilience studies, or supply chain partnerships with federal food distributors. Procurement trends suggest that peanut-related contracts are more likely to be bundled under broader food procurement or nutrition assistance programs rather than standalone agricultural acquisitions.
