MAKITA CO.,INC.

MAKITA CO., INC. specializes in the manufacturing and supply of specialized food products for military and defense logistics, with deep expertise in dried, preserved, and ready-to-use food items tailored for field rations and operational feeding systems. The company’s technical capabilities encompass food processing for shelf-stable commodities including dried seaweed, pre-mixed flours, sesame oil, coffee beans, dry pasta, pickled chili peppers, and fish sauce—products engineered for extended shelf life, nutritional compliance, and ease of integration into military MRE and field feeding programs. Their proficiency lies in small-batch, high-quality food manufacturing under strict hygiene and safety protocols, with an emphasis on ethnic and culturally appropriate ingredients to support diverse service member needs. The contractor maintains a consistent and primary relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering mission-critical food commodities that support garrison, deployed, and expeditionary operations. Their work aligns with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) supply chain requirements, focusing on reliable, repeatable production of non-perishable food items that meet USDA and military nutrition standards. MAKITA’s industry focus centers on NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and 312111 (Soft Drink Manufacturing), where they produce non-carbonated, shelf-stable food concentrates, sauces, and dried ingredients—not beverages—as defined by their award descriptions. This positions them as a niche supplier in the defense food services vertical, bridging Asian culinary traditions with U.S. military ration specifications. As a Woman-Owned Business with an entity structure of 2K, MAKITA operates from Yokohama, Japan, serving as a strategic international supplier within the global defense logistics network. Their certification enhances their eligibility for set-aside contracts and underscores their commitment to diversity in federal sourcing.
