A.j. Wholesale Produce Inc.

A.J. Wholesale Produce Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, supplies fresh produce and shell eggs to the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence program as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under Total Small Business and full-and-open delivery order vehicles serving federal schools and reservations across Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. The vendor is Department of Transportation-certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and competes predominantly on subsistence commodity procurements rather than larger systems integrations; 99.9% of the vendor's award footprint flows through DLA Troop Support.

The vendor's federal activity is dominated by high-volume, small-dollar delivery orders for individual produce items. Recent representative delivery orders include $5,781.34 for fresh cherries (June 23, 2026), $3,508.30 for fresh asparagus (June 3, 2026), $2,571.79 for watermelon (June 18, 2026), and $1,680.20 for apples and oranges (June 10, 2026), all issued by DLA Troop Support Subsistence under Total Small Business or full-and-open set-asides with firm fixed-price structures and same-order-cycle completion dates. The vendor also holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE30023DSA58) valued at $4.9 million, awarded August 10, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 9, 2030, authorizing supply of fresh produce and shell eggs meeting USDA Grade Number 1 quality standards.

Customer concentration is extreme: 150,266 of 150,280 prime awards ($602.4 million combined potential value, 98% of all dollars) flow through DLA Troop Support Subsistence; a single award to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Institution Oxford ($984) rounds out the customer base. The vendor places task orders under five named indefinite delivery vehicles: SPE30023DSA58 (44,043 task orders, $35.5 million combined potential value), SPE30021DSA94 (32,855 task orders, $26.1 million), SPE30023DSA59 (25,666 task orders, $18.4 million), SPE30019DSA54 (21,980 task orders, $18.7 million), and SPE30025DS781 (20,646 task orders, $17.8 million). These vehicles anchor the vendor's footprint; combined, they cover 145,190 task orders (96% of all awards) and $116.5 million (19% of all potential value).

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on perishable commodity supply — fresh fruits (cherries, strawberries, watermelon, grapes, apples, oranges, nectarines, peaches, plums), vegetables (carrots, broccoli, asparagus, corn, onions, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes), and shell eggs — all delivered from Sheboygan with same-day or next-order-cycle fulfillment. Award volume has remained stable at approximately 28,000 orders per year in 2023–2025; 2026 year-to-date (through July 16) shows 12,208 awards, consistent with a partial-year reporting window. The combined potential value across the entire 22-year footprint is $612.6 million, with $141.6 million (23%) obligated as of the source date. Award counts dwarf dollar values — the median delivery order sits below $1,000 — reflecting the operational model of rapid, small-lot subsistence replenishment rather than consolidated procurements. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontracting footprint evident in the source. No private-sector parent company, subsidiary relationships, or material business line diversification beyond fresh produce and eggs is named in the source.
