Alberto Rabel Pantoja

Alberto Rabel Pantoja, doing business as Cali Coast AG, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business sole proprietorship based in Santa Maria, California, that provides vegetable harvesting labor and materials to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons under a single-award indefinite-delivery contract as a prime contractor exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides.

Cali Coast AG holds a single-award IDC with the Bureau of Prisons Central Office, awarded May 1, 2026, with a $1.74 million ceiling, a $10,000 guaranteed minimum, and an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027. The contract procures labor and materials for harvesting, grading, and packing broccoli and celery across 380 to 450 acres at the Federal Prison Industries farm in Lompoc, California, on a firm-fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment basis. Work must be completed within fifteen days of each delivery order issuance, with three anticipated harvesting opportunities per crop. Evaluation prioritizes contractor ability to meet detailed quality-control specifications and past performance over price; the Service Contract Act and Department of Justice residency requirements and security clearance procedures apply. Weekly invoices are submitted to UNICOR Central Accounts Payable in Lexington, Kentucky, with administrative oversight from ACO Chad Privett.

All thirteen recent awards are delivery orders drawn from this single parent contract, issued between June 22 and August 31, 2026, under Total Small Business set-asides, with individual order values ranging from $15,302 to $23,655. The combined potential value across all awards is $2 million, with 100 percent of that value obligated. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office accounts for all thirteen awards and the full $2 million combined potential value. The vendor performs no subcontracting and operates solely under the Bureau of Prisons IDC. Category concentration reflects the vendor's narrow specialization — all thirteen awards fall under NAICS 721142 (Farm Labor Contractors and Crew Leaders) and PSC code J003 (Housekeeping—Landscaping/Groundskeeping). The vendor carries no parent contract vehicles beyond the single BOP IDC and does not hold positions on GWACs, schedules, or other multi-agency vehicles. The contract's ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027, with optional one-year extensions, creates a recompete window in early 2027 for subsequent harvesting seasons.
