Brothers Produce Of Dallas, Inc.

Brothers Produce Of Dallas, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Garland, Texas, supplies USDA Grade 1 or better fresh produce to the Defense Logistics Agency and the federal Bureau of Prisons as a prime contractor under multiple indefinite delivery contracts. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation operating entirely as a prime (100% of awards), with no subcontract footprint.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by a single customer and vehicle structure. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division accounts for 364,156 awards and $1.12 billion in combined potential value — effectively 100% of the vendor's contract volume and dollars. All but a handful of orders flow through five parent indefinite delivery contracts; the largest is IDC SPE30018DS315, which carries 117,700 task orders and $47.3 million in potential value, followed by IDC SPE30021DSA71 with 64,011 task orders and $47.3 million. A single-award indefinite delivery contract awarded January 4, 2026, with a ceiling of $4.9 million and a completion date of January 3, 2031, authorizes Brothers Produce to supply approximately 91 different fresh produce items to DLA Troop Support and USDA school feeding programs across multiple states, with place of performance in Garland, Texas. Representative delivery orders from April 2026 include $13.7 million for fresh blueberries, $12.9 million for pineapple, $8.8 million for fresh bananas, and $7.2 million for fresh strawberries, all under firm fixed-price terms. The vendor also serves the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, which accounts for 42 awards and approximately $1.8 million in combined potential value across federal correctional facilities at Beaumont, Oklahoma City, Seagoville, and El Reno.

Activity has been volatile year over year — 65,079 awards in 2022, declining to 25,035 in 2024, then rising to 41,520 in 2025, with 22,800 awards issued in 2026 so far. The source data spans from July 2016 to April 2026, reflecting a ten-year window of DLA subsistence engagement. Only one award ($208 thousand) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure but a contract renewal inflection point at the January 2031 expiration of the current single-award IDC.

The vendor's capability portfolio is narrowly focused on fresh produce procurement and distribution. Award categorization shows 173,464 awards mapped to Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311991) and 117,744 to Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 424450), with 363,969 delivery orders under PSC Fruits and Vegetables. Produce line items span apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, celery, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, watermelon, kiwifruit, pineapple, and related fresh vegetables and fruits, all priced firm fixed-price and distributed to military dining facilities, correctional institutions, and USDA school programs in Texas and multi-state regions. The vendor does not compete for set-aside work — all awards carry either no set-aside designation or Total Small Business set-aside language, reflecting eligibility as a small business rather than pursuit of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB carve-outs. The recompete window and the sheer volume of individual delivery orders (364,191 awards representing granular task order flow) signal a vendor operationally embedded in DLA subsistence supply chain operations rather than a competitor in broader federal procurement markets.
