Vege-Mist, Inc., doing business as Vege Mist Inc., is a California-based for-profit Subchapter S Corporation specializing in the manufacture and supply of material handling equipment and wooden display fixtures for military commissaries. Registered with SAM.gov since July 30, 2001, the company is classified as a small business and maintains its principal place of business in Gardena, California. Vege-Mist has established itself as a reliable and consistent supplier to the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA), providing specialized equipment that enhances operational efficiency and customer experience across the Department of Defense's global network of military grocery stores serving active duty personnel, retirees, and their families.

Vege-Mist has provided an extensive array of material handling equipment and wooden display products to the Defense Commissary Agency through numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders issued under its primary indefinite delivery vehicle contract. The company's product offerings include standard bagger carts (designated 2E00-C for continental U.S. use and 2E00-C OCONUS for overseas locations), rough terrain bagger carts (2E00-D variants for both CONUS and Alaska/Hawaii deployments), tilt-top produce tables in multiple configurations (2P08-C measuring 48"x36" and 2P08-F measuring 36"x36"), orchard bins in various styles including dry storage (2P16-A) and units with ice reservoirs (2P16-B), multi-bin orchard sets (2P17 containing four bins), six-step retractable carts (2P20-C in Cortina style), mobile end caps for Euro-style displays (2P22-E), display end caps in crate styles (2P30-S3L and 2P30-S3R variants), bakery display islands and tables in multiple configurations (2B07-A, 2B07-B, 2B07-C, and 2B07-D models), and various wooden display fixtures including floral displays and produce end caps. All identified contract awards have been issued by the Defense Commissary Agency with no set-aside designations applied to individual delivery orders, though the underlying contract vehicle itself is designated as a small business set-aside. The delivery orders have ranged significantly in value, from individual awards as small as $244 to comprehensive orders exceeding $84,000, with delivery dates spanning from September 2023 through December 2024 and beyond, demonstrating sustained demand for the company's specialized equipment across DeCA's worldwide commissary network.

Vege-Mist, Inc. holds a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract with the Defense Commissary Agency valued at $587,076.09, awarded on June 26, 2023, and running through March 31, 2028. This IDV contract is specifically designated as a small business set-aside and covers the provision of handcarts, grocery carryout carts (bagger carts), and rough terrain bagger carts to support DeCA's commissary operations across the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and overseas installations. Under this contract vehicle, DeCA has issued numerous delivery orders to Vege-Mist for the supply of the aforementioned material handling equipment and wooden display products, enabling the agency to efficiently procure essential equipment on an as-needed basis rather than through individual competitive procurements. The IDV contract structure allows DeCA flexibility in managing its inventory and facility requirements across its global network of commissaries while providing Vege-Mist with a stable, multi-year revenue opportunity that reflects the company's established capability and reliability as a supplier to the military community.
