OAKES FARMS FOOD & DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, LLC

Oakes Farms Food & Distribution Services, LLC specializes in the procurement, handling, and distribution of perishable fresh produce and baked goods for federal operations, with a dominant focus on supplying the Department of Defense. Their core capabilities center on cold chain logistics for fresh fruits and vegetables—including apples, grapes, strawberries, and oranges—alongside commercial bakery product delivery. The contractor demonstrates technical proficiency in temperature-controlled storage, rapid-response distribution, and compliance with federal food safety standards for institutional feeding programs. Their specialization in just-in-time delivery of high-turnover perishables ensures operational readiness for military installations and federal facilities requiring consistent, safe, and shelf-stable food supplies. The company maintains an exclusive and sustained relationship with the Department of Defense, consistently delivering fresh produce and bakery items to support dining facilities, garrison operations, and deployed personnel. Their contract history reflects a deep integration into DoD’s Defense Logistics Agency supply chain, with repeat engagements indicating reliability in meeting stringent military food service requirements. No other federal agencies appear in their award record, suggesting a highly focused market alignment with defense nutrition programs. Industry focus is anchored in Commercial Bakeries (NAICS 311812) and Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing (NAICS 311991), reflecting expertise in producing and distributing ready-to-serve baked goods and pre-processed fruits. Their secondary NAICS in Other Grocery Merchant Wholesalers (424490) supports bulk distribution logistics. This positions them as a niche supplier within the federal food service sector, bridging production and field delivery for perishable items requiring strict handling protocols. As a 2L entity based in Naples, Florida, Oakes Farms operates as a small, regionally grounded contractor without federal certifications. Their geographic location enables efficient access to Gulf Coast distribution corridors, supporting rapid deployment to military bases across the Southeast and beyond. The company’s market positioning is defined by operational agility in perishable logistics rather than broad-scale manufacturing or certification-based compliance.
