About the company
Cash-Wa Distributing CO. of Kearney, Inc., a family-owned Subchapter S Corporation based in Kearney, Nebraska, supplies fresh produce, shell eggs, and prepared foodservice items to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders and blanket purchase agreements, with no subcontracting footprint. The vendor competes without set-aside designation across all recent awards.
Cash-Wa's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division, which accounts for 40,414 awards (99.7% of the vendor's award count) valued at $202.8 million in combined potential value across the past two decades of activity. The vendor also holds a smaller but strategically important $2 million multiple-award BPA with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Great Plains Region for food and beverage supply to five detention facilities in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Secondary customers include the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (42 awards, $1.1 million), and the Department of the Army (11 awards, $131 thousand). The $24.9 million USDA Agricultural Marketing Service Specialty Crops Program award appears as an outlier in the potential-value ranking but represents a single award distinct from the subsistence delivery-order volume.
Cash-Wa's award portfolio consists almost entirely of delivery orders issued under five parent indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support Subsistence. The largest vehicle, IDC SPE30022DSA55, carries 10,456 task orders valued at $8 million. The vendor's primary IDC, referenced across multiple award summaries as a $47.3 million single-award contract extending through September 2029, supplies USDA Grade Number 1 or better quality fresh fruits, vegetables, and shell eggs to Department of Defense, USDA, and Indian Health Service customers across regional distribution zones. Activity peaked at 7,844 awards in 2023 and has moderated to 2,874 awards year-to-date in 2026, reflecting seasonal ordering patterns in military subsistence procurement. The vendor faces a minimal recompete cliff, with only $25 thousand in awards completing within the next twenty-four months.
Cash-Wa's capability footprint centers on procurement and logistics for perishable fresh produce (40,400 awards under PSC Fruits and Vegetables), with secondary categories in bakery products and prepared foods. The vendor delivers directly to military installations and federal detention facilities across the Great Plains and broader domestic regions, with place of performance consistently at Kearney, Nebraska, and subordinate delivery to customer sites. Representative recent work includes a $21.6 million delivery order for fresh red potatoes to DoD Subsistence (July 2026), a $10.5 million order for fresh avocados to DLA Subsistence (June 2026), and a $4.6 million portfolio of orders for fresh cherries, apples, oranges, and strawberries across June and July 2026. The vendor operates as a direct supplier on firm fixed-price delivery orders with no teaming relationships, subcontracts, or parent prime relationships visible in the award record.
