T. Esaki Farm, Inc.

T. Esaki Farm, Inc., doing business as Esaki's Produce, supplies fresh fruits and vegetables to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under a total small business set-aside single-award indefinite delivery contract. The vendor is a small, family-owned agricultural producer headquartered in Kapaa, Hawaii, competing entirely under the total small business set-aside category and performing all work directly with no subcontractors.

Esaki's Produce operates predominantly under one parent vehicle: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Pacific's $4 million indefinite delivery contract (SPE30223DS016) awarded March 30, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of April 1, 2028. This vehicle procures USDA Grade 1 or better fresh fruits and vegetables to supply Department of Defense facilities and non-Department of Defense schools on the island of Kauai. The contract carries firm fixed-price pricing with economic price adjustment provisions and a guaranteed minimum commitment of $35,000. Under this IDC, the vendor has issued 1,860 delivery orders totaling $1.3 million in combined potential value. A secondary vehicle (SPE30220DS006) supports 68 delivery orders valued at $38 thousand. Delivery orders across both vehicles cover a comprehensive produce portfolio including apples, oranges, bananas, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, carrots, watermelons, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, broccoli, cabbage, pears, cucumbers, salad mix, and other fresh items, with individual order ceilings typically ranging from $100 to $2,000.

Customer concentration is extreme and wholly DLA-driven. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence program accounts for 1,922 awards (100% of the award count) and $1.3 million in combined potential value, while the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Pacific accounts for 8 awards and $5.3 million in potential value. The combined portfolio shows $6.6 million in potential value across 1,930 total awards with $1.3 million obligated (20% utilization), indicating a high-velocity delivery-order environment. Activity accelerated sharply from a single award in 2020 to 613 awards in 2023, then stabilized at 554–559 awards per year in 2024 and 2025, with 203 awards issued year-to-date in 2026. All work is categorized under NAICS Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing and PSC Fruits and Vegetables. The vendor maintains no subcontract footprint and functions as a direct supplier to DLA subsistence operations supporting military feeding across the Pacific region, with place of performance at Kapaa, Hawaii.
