About this award

Foster-Caviness Co, Inc., a small business agricultural commodity supplier based in Colfax, North Carolina, received a delivery order award on January 21, 2026, for the provision of Chilean honeydew melons to the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Subsistence division. The contract carries a ceiling value of $11,880 with a firm fixed-price structure and an ultimate completion date of January 23, 2026. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation and represents performance under Foster-Caviness's existing Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Subsistence, a single-award vehicle valued at $10 million and running through April 23, 2030. The Subsistence IDV supports the procurement of fresh produce for military dining facilities, schools, and other federal government institutions.

Foster-Caviness has established itself as a reliable produce supplier to the Department of Defense, leveraging two significant federal contract vehicles that collectively position the company as a primary source for fresh fruits and vegetables across the DLA enterprise. Beyond the Subsistence IDV, the company maintains a $181.875 billion five-year contract with DLA Troop Support, designated as a total small business set-aside and awarded in April 2024 for fresh produce distribution throughout the North Carolina region. The company's recent delivery order history demonstrates consistent activity supplying diverse agricultural commodities including melons, stone fruits, berries, and vegetables, with individual orders typically ranging from $150 to $4,000 in value.
