The U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency Energy awarded a delivery order to Ryuseki Corporation on November 25, 2025, for the supply of burner fuel oil to support military installations in Japan. This fixed-price delivery order, valued at approximately $124.5K with economic price adjustments, represents one of numerous task orders issued under Ryuseki Corporation's comprehensive Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Energy. The parent IDC, valued at $92.8M through June 30, 2029, was awarded as a single-award contract on September 13, 2024, and authorizes the delivery of approximately 2.8 million gallons of diverse petroleum products including aviation turbine fuel, automotive gasoline, marine gas oil, and liquefied petroleum gas to major U.S. military installations across Japan such as Yokota Air Base, Kadena Air Base, and various Navy and Army facilities. The award was made without set-aside designation under open competition, reflecting Ryuseki Corporation's established capability as a critical infrastructure partner.

Individual delivery orders under the contract have ranged from under $350 to over $373K, demonstrating the strategic operational importance of reliable fuel distribution to forward-deployed installations. The company's subsidiary, Okinawa Marine Service Co., Ltd., a minority-owned business, provides complementary maritime logistics services including tugboat operations and vessel support to Navy Installations Command and Military Sealift Command at key locations including White Beach and Tengan Pier.
