Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE30025DPA14

Chico Produce, Inc. (UEI: YPJPM53V9YJ6), a for-profit food service distribution company based in Durham, California, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence on August 3, 2025. The contract, valued at $4,900,000 with a performance period extending through August 2, 2030, procures USDA Grade 1 or better quality fresh fruits, vegetables, and shell eggs to supply United States Department of Agriculture customers in Oregon and Washington. This indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract structure allows for task orders to be issued on a delivery order basis to support institutional customers, including schools and reservation communities in the Pacific Northwest region. The solicitation, originally posted by the Defense Logistics Agency as a pre-solicitation market research notice on April 13, 2022, sought commercial firms capable of meeting produce supply requirements for the specified geographic area with no set-aside designations applied.

The contracted products encompass a comprehensive range of fresh agricultural commodities, including fresh and chilled fruits such as oranges, apples, strawberries, tangerines, and pears; vegetables including carrots, broccoli florets, cauliflower, and lettuce; and shell eggs. Historical delivery orders under Chico Produce's existing federal contracts demonstrate the company's capability to handle varied contract sizes and produce requirements, with individual order values ranging from approximately $60 to $14,365. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence, which manages subsistence procurement for the Department of Defense, utilizes this contract mechanism to ensure reliable access to high-quality produce for military food service operations and institutional feeding programs serving eligible populations in the Pacific Northwest.
