About the company
Dhx-Dependable Hawaiian Express Inc. DHX Inc. Division, a for-profit division of Dependable Highway Express Inc., operates as a prime contractor providing containerized freight transportation and logistics services to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, competing exclusively on a full-and-open (non-set-aside) basis. The vendor specializes in ocean freight movement of dry goods, temperature-controlled cargo, and perishable items in 40-foot, 45-foot, 48-foot, and 53-foot containers across the Pacific region—primarily between Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. mainland—in direct support of USDA food assistance and agricultural commodity distribution programs.
DHX operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint. Since 2004, the vendor has accumulated 202 federal contracts, all definitive firm fixed-price awards for containerized freight services. The two funding agencies account for 98% of awards: the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service (Washington Office) with 123 awards at $1.1 million combined potential value, and the Food and Nutrition Service with 72 awards at $706 thousand combined potential value. The remainder includes nominal work with the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of the Army. Individual contract values are small and recurring, typically ranging from $4 thousand to $35 thousand with 2- to 6-month performance periods; the vendor's combined potential value across all 202 awards sits at $2 million with $2 million already obligated. DHX's work profile is heavily concentrated in NAICS 488324 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), accounting for 195 of 202 awards, with the remainder spanning freight brokerage and specialized transportation.
Activity has grown substantially year over year—37 awards in 2022 to a peak of 73 in 2024—before tapering to 32 in 2025 and 10 in 2026. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $24 thousand), indicating a modest near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's customer concentration is tight and durable: over 98% of awards fund USDA food donation logistics under open competition, with negligible diversification into defense or other civilian agencies. DHX's business model centers on time-sensitive, high-volume, small-value containerized shipping contracts that support the USDA's domestic and international food assistance operations, leveraging deep operational expertise in Pacific maritime routes and cold-chain logistics.
