Makita Co.,Inc.

Makita Co.,Inc., a woman-owned and minority-owned limited liability company based in Yokohama, Japan, supplies culturally-specific and locally-sourced specialty food products to U.S. military dining facilities and personnel throughout the Pacific region as a prime contractor on 760 federal awards, operating exclusively without subcontractors and competing exclusively under full-and-open solicitations without set-asides.

The vendor's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely on subsistence procurement for military operations in the Pacific theater. Makita holds two single-award Blanket Purchase Agreements with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Pacific's Institutional Feeding Division—one valued at $250,000 (awarded October 1, 2021, expiring September 30, 2026) and a second valued at $150,000 (awarded July 6, 2023, expiring June 11, 2028)—from which DLA has issued 760 documented call orders since 2001. The product scope spans specialty noodles (pansit canton, bihon, palabok, sotanghon), Asian sauces (soy, fish, chili, yakitori, yakisoba, yakiniku varieties), spice mixes (adobo, tamarind), whole coffee beans, sesame oil, pre-mixed flour, miso paste, shrimp paste, pickled peppers, whole baby corn in brine, dried seaweed, coconut water, and condiments tailored to the dietary preferences of U.S. military personnel. Representative task orders include a $7,174.55 call for whole baby corn in brine (July 2024), a $5,264.78 call for pre-mixed flour (March 2025), and a $3,612.68 call for pansit canton noodles (September 2025). Individual call orders under the BPAs range from as low as $19 to as high as $7,174.55, with typical completion timelines of 30 to 90 days.

Customer concentration divides sharply between order volume and dollar magnitude. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Pacific dominates award count at 633 awards (83% of total) but represents only $1.2 million in combined potential value (1% of total). The Defense Commissary Agency, by contrast, accounts for only 37 awards (5% of total) but anchors $70.4 million in combined potential value (79% of total)—a divergence reflecting Makita's role as a frequent, small-order supplier to DLA Troop Support Pacific against periodic large procurements from DeCA. The Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces placed 57 awards worth $1.3 million, including three purchase orders in 2024 and 2025 for table and chair covers ($32.6 million, $42.5 million, and $38.9 million respectively), signaling expansion beyond food into military supplies. The source data shows SAM.gov registration dating to July 29, 2002, reflecting over two decades of federal contracting activity.

Activity has remained consistently high across the past five years—104 awards in 2022, 120 in 2023, 99 in 2024, and 119 in 2025—demonstrating sustained demand for regionally-appropriate provisioning support. The top five BPA vehicles account for 626 task orders combined: SPE30221A0007 (216 task orders), SPE30223A0013 (128 task orders), SPE30221A0009 (116 task orders), SPE30218A0020 (110 task orders), and SPE30218A0023 (56 task orders). All performance occurs in Japan. Makita's NAICS footprint spans All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing (382 awards), Soft Drink Manufacturing (219 awards), and Commercial Bakeries (57 awards); PSC coding reflects Condiments and Related Products (311 awards), Bakery and Cereal Products (118 awards), and Fruits and Vegetables (100 awards).
