Val-Pro, Inc.

Val-Pro, Inc., doing business as Valley Fruit & Produce Co, supplies fresh produce and dairy products to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Subsistence division as a prime contractor, operating under a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at $4.9 million running through August 2, 2030. Val-Pro is a small business joint venture and Subchapter S Corporation based in Los Angeles, California, competing predominantly in the full-and-open posture across a portfolio of 47,023 awards spanning delivery orders for fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy items to support military dining facilities and USDA school meal programs.

Nearly the entire Val-Pro footprint concentrates on a single parent vehicle: the DLA Troop Support Subsistence IDC (contract SPE30024DS427) anchors 22,394 delivery orders with $35.5 million in combined potential value, supplemented by four other legacy DLA subsistence IDCs (SPE30025DSA42, SPE30024DPA02, SPE30014DS500, SPE30024DSA47) that collectively account for 21,871 additional delivery orders and approximately $41.3 million. The vendor's award portfolio reflects high transactional velocity; 2025 saw 31,275 awards and 2026 has generated 11,060 awards year-to-date, compared to 480 in 2024, signaling a sharp ramp in just-in-time procurement orders placed against the primary IDC. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $1.12 billion, though obligated dollars total only $84.5 million (8%), indicating most awards represent ceiling values rather than invoiced spend.

DLA Troop Support Subsistence dominates customer concentration absolutely, accounting for 47,015 awards (99.98% of the portfolio) and $1.12 billion in combined potential value. The remaining three awards are nominal: one from the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service and two from DLA corporate. Val-Pro's capability portfolio consists entirely of perishable fresh produce and dairy procurement — the top NAICS category (46,146 awards) is Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing, followed by Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Merchant Wholesalers (485 awards). The top PSC is Fruits and Vegetables (47,007 awards); all work performs under firm fixed-price, just-in-time delivery terms from the Los Angeles operational base to military installations and federal school meal programs. Representative delivery orders from the April 2026 award cycle include strawberries ($4.8 million ceiling), carrots ($8.3 million ceiling), apples ($4.2 million ceiling), lettuce mix ($5.3 million ceiling), and fruit mixes ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars per order. Val-Pro operates with no subcontractor involvement — the vendor is 100% prime, performing all produce and dairy sourcing, logistics, and delivery directly.

The vendor's activity trajectory shows explosive growth in order count over the past eighteen months, reflecting DLA's shift toward high-frequency, small-dollar delivery orders rather than consolidation into larger periodic procurements. This transactional pattern mitigates recompete risk in the traditional sense; individual delivery orders are short-duration (often April 15–20, 2026 completion) and do not create lumpy recompete exposure. However, the underlying IDC ceiling of $4.9 million and the parent vehicle's authority to issue delivery orders through August 2030 represent the strategic asset. Val-Pro operates without set-aside designation on the primary IDC; the vast majority of individual delivery orders carry "Total Small Business" or "No Set-Aside Used" designations, indicating the vendor competes full-and-open under the parent vehicle's small business reservation.
