The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support has awarded a $7 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Hilo Products, Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American small business located in Hilo, Hawaii. The IDC, which is set aside for small businesses, runs through July 17, 2027 and allows Hilo Products, Inc. to provide a wide range of fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables, as well as milk and USDA school products, to military dining facilities, exchanges, and commissaries throughout Hawaii.
Under this IDC, the DLA Troop Support Pacific has issued numerous delivery orders to Hilo Products, Inc. for the supply of various produce items, including oranges, apples, pears, lettuce, celery, carrots, watermelons, squash, tomatoes, and salad mixes. The delivery orders are firm fixed-price contracts, with ceiling values ranging from less than $100 for smaller quantities to over $5,000 for larger shipments. While most of the recent awards are not set aside, Hilo Products, Inc. has secured some set-aside contracts in the past due to its status as a minority-owned small business. This IDC serves as the primary mechanism through which Hilo Products, Inc. supports the DLA's mission in Hawaii, allowing for efficient and flexible procurement of fresh produce for military installations in the region.
