This award is a delivery order contract issued under an existing indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract held by Forestwood Farm, Inc., an agricultural supplier specializing in fresh produce. The contract pertains specifically to the procurement of fresh Gala apples to be delivered for use in USDA school lunch programs and similar public nutrition initiatives. This delivery order supports ongoing efforts by the Defense Logistics Agency to ensure the availability of high-quality fresh produce for military and school nutrition programs, reinforcing the agency's commitment to health and wellness. The scope of work includes timely delivery of fresh Gala apples to a designated location in Birmingham, Alabama. The award was made under the broader IDIQ contract awarded competitively to Forestwood Farm, Inc., ensuring consistent supply and adherence to USDA quality standards. The performance is set for a single day in early 2026, reflecting a targeted delivery within the longer-term indefinite contract period initiated in late 2023. This specific order thus represents a critical component of the larger multi-year procurement strategy aimed at maintaining reliable access to fresh produce for federal nutrition programs.
