Ham Produce & Seafood Inc.

Ham Produce & Seafood Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business based in Honolulu, Hawaii, supplies fresh produce and prepared foods to the Department of Defense and the Department of Agriculture as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of awards) and competes entirely within set-aside vehicles, with no subcontractor footprint and no federal grant recipients; its single federal grant award (January 2022, Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service, COVID-19 relief for food producers) was a one-time relief instrument and does not characterize ongoing business.

Ham Produce & Seafood Inc.'s customer base is heavily concentrated in Defense Logistics Agency's subsistence supply operations. DLA Troop Support Pacific accounts for 17,081 awards valued at $158.4 million in combined potential value (81% of the vendor's total); DLA Troop Support Subsistence accounts for 28,456 awards valued at $16.8 million (9%). The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service holds thirteen awards (primarily Section 32 fresh commodity donations) valued at $10.4 million combined, and one specialty crops program award for $8.5 million. The concentration gap between award count and dollar value reflects DLA Pacific's small, frequent delivery orders (the top five parent IDCs show 16,435 to 1,975 task orders each) against larger but infrequent USDA grants. The vendor's primary IDC vehicle is the DLA Troop Support Pacific Market Fresh Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE30223DS003), holding a $26.25 million ceiling awarded March 5, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 4, 2031, and carrying 16,435 delivery orders valued at $7.8 million to date. A prior $7.4 million single-award IDC from March 2025 has anchored prior-year activity. Recent representative work includes a $111,013 USDA definitive contract for fresh USDA Grade 1 oranges (34–39 lb cartons) for food donations awarded September 16, 2026, under total small business set-aside; multiple DLA Troop Support Pacific delivery orders issued July 2026 for fresh pineapple ($45,902.70), blueberries ($24,367.83), fresh green grapes ($6,163.40), fresh broccoli florets ($8,510.38), and fresh strawberries and honeydew melons ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars per order.

The vendor's NAICS footprint is concentrated in 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing, 29,374 awards) and 424510 (Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers, 14,015 awards), with PSC 8915 (Fruits and Vegetables) covering 45,470 awards. Activity peaked in 2024 at 9,537 awards and has moderated slightly in 2025–2026 (8,174 and 1,452 awards respectively in the source's snapshot window), reflecting the high-frequency, small-order nature of military subsistence supply. The recompete cliff shows minimal near-term exposure: only one award completes in the next twenty-four months with $111 thousand in potential value. Ham Produce & Seafood Inc. operates as a direct commercial distributor for DLA, responsible for sourcing, storing, quality control, and delivery of fresh produce—typically USDA Grade 1 or better—to military installations in Hawaii, including Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Tripler Army Medical Center, and dining facilities across Schofield Barracks. The vendor's model is specialized, geographically anchored to Hawaii, and entirely dependent on DLA Pacific subsistence contracts and periodic USDA commodity donations; it holds no seats on government-wide vehicles, GWACs, or multi-agency IDIQs.
