East Side Jersey Dairy Inc.

East Side Jersey Dairy Inc., doing business as Esjd, supplies fluid milk and dairy products to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor operating on full-and-open delivery orders with no set-aside designations. The Sioux Falls, South Dakota–based for-profit company holds three single-award indefinite delivery contracts totaling approximately $5.5 million through 2030, from which it issues frequent short-duration task orders averaging two to three weeks per line item.

Esjd's federal footprint is narrow and transaction-heavy. The vendor operates under two primary indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Subsistence—one valued at $4.9 million (awarded May 2025, completion April 2030) and one valued at $250,000 (awarded December 2023, completion December 2026)—and a third single-award indefinite delivery contract with Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 valued at $400,000 (awarded April 2025, completion March 2030). These three IDCs anchor 212 total prime awards spanning 2023 through mid-2026, predominantly delivery orders for low-fat milk, whole milk, chocolate low-fat milk, lactose-free milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Representative delivery orders include a $73,397.97 order from VISN 23 issued April 1, 2026, for milk and dairy products supplying VHA Black Hills Health Care System (completion March 31, 2027), and multiple DLA Subsistence orders in the $100–$600 range for fluid milk and dairy item line-item updates issued on roughly weekly cadence. The portfolio reflects commercial commodity supply rather than government service contracting.

Customer concentration is extreme. DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 209 awards (98% of award count) and $5.2 million (91% of combined potential value), while VISN 23 accounts for 3 awards ($547,000). The two agencies represent 100% of Esjd's federal customer base. Award volume has grown sharply—2 awards in 2023, 69 in 2024, 117 in 2025, and 24 year-to-date in 2026—reflecting aggressive task-order issuance against the underlying IDCs rather than new contract wins. Combined potential value sits at $5.7 million, but only $197,000 (3%) has been obligated, indicating the contracts carry large ceilings relative to current spend.

The recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal: one award ($73,000) reaches completion within that window. However, the DLA Subsistence IDC awarded December 2023 with a $250,000 ceiling expires December 2026, creating a near-term recompete cliff for that vehicle. Task orders flow through two primary DLA IDCs—SPE30025DVA10 and SPE30024DV001—which collectively anchor 207 of the 212 awards but carry only $50,000 in combined potential value, suggesting these IDCs are mature or recently replaced by the newer $4.9 million contract. Top NAICS categories are Fluid Milk Manufacturing (98 awards) and Commercial Bakeries (114 awards), reflecting the vendor's dairy product supply posture, though the bakery classification signals occasional flour or grain-based product orders. The PSC code Dairy Foods and Eggs applies to 210 of 212 awards. Esjd operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data.
