Coast Produce Company

Coast Produce Company, doing business as Coast Produce Co, a minority-owned and Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Los Angeles, California, supplies mixed fresh produce commodities to the federal government as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides, with work concentrated overwhelmingly in Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) food service supply.

The vendor operates across two primary NAICS categories: Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers (3,031 awards) and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (1,459 awards), mirrored by PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables) designation carrying 3,044 awards. Capability is narrowly focused on procurement and delivery of mixed fresh produce sourced from United States origin suppliers, delivered on FOB destination or FOB origin basis to multiple geographic regions, with secondary work in bakery products, beverages, and dairy foods. Recent representative contracts include a $191,250 firm-fixed-price definitive contract from USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) awarded February 21, 2023 for mixed fresh produce delivery to support domestic food assistance; a $148,500 contract from FNS awarded November 21, 2023 with performance through March 15, 2024; a $134,400 contract from FNS awarded May 8, 2024 for commodity procurement supporting the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP); and ongoing work for FNS in 2025 and 2026 including an $87,300 contract awarded February 5, 2026 and an $85,500 contract awarded May 5, 2026, both for mixed fresh produce delivery to eight regions including Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Customer concentration is extreme and creates structural risk. Defense Commissary Agency anchors the footprint with 188 awards valued at $1.28 billion in combined potential value, representing approximately 93% of total potential value across the entire 4,706-award portfolio. Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence supplies the volume signal with 4,381 awards but carries only $36.7 million in combined potential value — the pricing schematic is highly compressed on DLA work. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service has placed 7 awards worth $784 thousand combined potential value, reflecting recent activity and contract wins visible in the source. Together, DeCA and DLA account for 99% of awards by count and 95% of combined potential value.

The vendor operates under five parent indefinite delivery contracts issued by DLA and DeCA. Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM30008DP020 carries the largest footprint with 2,484 task orders and $16.5 million in combined potential value. SPM30008DP021 follows with 545 task orders and $3.9 million. Three additional DLA IDCs (SPM30005AGU88, SPM30006AGU88, and SPM30013DS038) account for 886 task orders combined. The vendor has not competed for or received awards on government-wide vehicles (GWACs), BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs outside the DLA-DeCA ecosystem.

Activity has remained sparse outside the DLA-DeCA base, with only 2 awards in 2023, 1 in 2024, and 2 in 2025 and 2026 combined. Recent FNS awards represent new or renewed engagement with civilian food assistance programs rather than sustained volume. The vendor faces minimal recompete pressure in the next twenty-four months, with only one award ($86 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside that window. The portfolio carries no documented subcontract footprint. Coast Produce Company has held a Basic Ordering Agreement related to Coronavirus COVID-19 national interest action and has maintained federal contractor status since 2002, anchored throughout by DeCA and DLA produce supply work.
