The U.S. Department of Defense Subsistence agency awarded a delivery order valued at $1,041.55 to Triple B Corp, operating through its Charlie's Produce Division and doing business as Charlie's Produce Alaska, for fresh produce supply to support military food service operations in Seattle, Washington. This firm fixed-price delivery order, issued without set-aside designation on January 12, 2026, represents one component of Triple B Corp's broader engagement with the Department of Defense as a produce supplier. The award falls under a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support that was established on September 30, 2025, with a $4.9M ceiling and a five-year performance period through September 29, 2030. This IDV, resulting from a July 2021 solicitation, establishes Triple B Corp as the sole-source provider for Department of Defense fresh produce procurement, encompassing over 100 USDA Grade 1 or better produce items including apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, and other agricultural products delivered on a weekly or monthly basis to support military installations.

Triple B Corp, a Seattle-based Subchapter S Corporation headquartered at 4103 2nd Ave S and registered in the System for Award Management since April 2002, has established itself as a reliable supplier of fresh produce to federal government agencies. Beyond its extensive delivery order portfolio for the Department of Defense, the company has received federal grant funding through the Agricultural Marketing Service to support Community Choice Cooperative operations under the Emergency Food Assistance Program framework, demonstrating its engagement with broader federal food security initiatives. The company's federal contracting activity reflects specialization in produce procurement and distribution aligned with military subsistence requirements across multiple geographic regions and operational scales.
