Blanket Purchase Agreement SPE30223A0013

Makita Co., Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business enterprise based in Yokohama, Japan, was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Pacific on July 6, 2023, with a ceiling value of $150,000 and an ultimate completion date of June 11, 2028. The contract was solicited on April 19, 2023, with a due date of April 28, 2023, and no small business set-aside designation was applied. This indefinite delivery vehicle establishes a mechanism through which DLA Troop Support Pacific's Institutional Feeding Division can issue firm fixed-price call orders for culturally-specific and locally-sourced food products and subsistence items to support U.S. military dining facilities and personnel stationed throughout the Pacific region. All performance takes place in Japan, and the contractor operates as the prime vendor without subcontractor involvement.

The product scope under this BPA encompasses a diverse portfolio of specialty food items sourced from Japan, including whole coffee beans, sesame oil, Asian sauces (yakitori, yakisoba, and yakiniku varieties), dry pasta (bowtie configuration), seaweed, soup base (Diatoku Dashinomoto), and prune juice. Since contract award, DLA Troop Support Pacific has issued 49 documented call orders ranging from $23 to $1,907.40, with typical task order completion timelines of 30 to 90 days, reflecting consistent demand for regionally-appropriate food supplies to meet the dietary preferences and operational requirements of U.S. military personnel in the Pacific theater. These call orders demonstrate the BPA's flexibility in accommodating both routine replenishment orders and larger bulk procurements, supporting the broader mission of the DLA Troop Support Pacific to maintain reliable supply chains for military subsistence operations.
