Delivery Order SPE30221DP006-SPE30224F22AA

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Pacific awarded a firm fixed price delivery order contract to Ham Produce & Seafood Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned, and Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Honolulu, Hawaii. The $1,045.47 contract is for the delivery of fresh romaine lettuce to support military food service operations in the region. While the contract does not have a set-aside designation, Ham Produce & Seafood Inc.'s small and disadvantaged business status likely contributed to its selection as the prime vendor.

In addition to this specific delivery order, Ham Produce & Seafood Inc. holds a $7.4 million ceiling value Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) from DLA Troop Support Pacific, which allows the company to supply a range of fresh fruits, vegetables, and other food products to Department of Defense customers in Oahu, Hawaii through September 2027. This IDC, set aside for small businesses, solidifies Ham Produce & Seafood Inc.'s position as a key supplier in DLA's Prime Vendor program, supporting the agency's mission of providing high-quality food distribution to U.S. armed forces worldwide. The company has also received a $20,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service to support its operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
