Seashore Fruit & Produce Co., Inc.

Seashore Fruit & Produce Co., Inc., a small business produce supplier based in Vineland, New Jersey, operates as a prime contractor delivering fresh and chilled fruits and vegetables to the Department of Defense military subsistence system under total small business set-asides. The vendor competes exclusively under the small business set-aside category across its federal footprint and holds no subcontract relationships.

The vendor's federal work is dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence division, which accounts for 285,340 of 285,502 total awards (99.9% of volume) and $1.6 billion of $1.66 billion in combined potential value. DLA is the sole meaningful customer; secondary funders include the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service (five awards, $34.3 million combined potential value for produce promotion and specialty crop programs) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons (six awards totaling $37 thousand). Recent concrete delivery orders include a $24.3 million order for fresh apples, a $10.8 million order for fresh sweet peppers, a $10.2 million order for fresh apples, a $8.9 million order for fresh plum tomatoes, and a $7.7 million order for fresh sweet peppers—all awarded by DLA Troop Support Subsistence in July 2026 under total small business set-aside. Place of performance for all work is Vineland, New Jersey, with distribution to Department of Defense military installations and schools in Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

Seashore Fruit & Produce operates through a portfolio of single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Troop Support Subsistence. The vendor's established IDV (SPE30023DP409), valued at $196.8 million and awarded in September 2023, has generated 29,168 task orders worth $15.6 million in combined potential value since inception. A successor IDV, valued at $11.1 million and awarded December 3, 2025, runs through November 30, 2030. The top five parent IDVs collectively represent over 229,000 task orders; the vendor's primary revenue streams flow through contracts SPE30023DSA05 (67,521 orders, $41.2 million), SPE30022DS382 (59,257 orders, $39.5 million), and SPE30018DS334 (43,513 orders, $23.1 million). Activity has remained flat across the past four years—approximately 48,300 to 51,000 awards annually from 2023 to 2026—indicating a mature, stable customer relationship with predictable ordering patterns. Product mix centers on apples, oranges, strawberries, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, plums, grapes, tomatoes, peppers, and other fresh produce items classified under NAICS 424480 (Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC 8915 (Subsistence). Obligated dollars total $277.7 million against $1.66 billion in potential value, reflecting the typical dynamics of indefinite delivery vehicles where task orders are issued incrementally against ceiling amounts.
