This federal contract IDV awarded by the Defense Health Agency is for the provision of critical medical gases, primarily liquid oxygen and dry ice, to support U.S. military healthcare operations in Japan. The prime contractor, Iwasawa Co., LTD., a Japanese for-profit organization, has been consistently awarded firm-fixed-price delivery orders under two active IDCs with the Defense Health Agency, with ceiling values of $55,833.35 and $88,365.81 respectively. These IDCs serve as the primary vehicles for issuing small, frequent orders from the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery to meet ongoing medical logistics requirements at U.S. military facilities in Japan, underscoring Iwasawa's important role as a reliable supplier of these specialized medical supplies.
The delivery orders awarded to Iwasawa under this IDV range from several hundred to over $1,000, with performance periods typically spanning a few weeks to a few months. The contracts are generally awarded without set-aside designations, indicating open competition for these critical medical supply needs. Iwasawa has provided these gases and related products to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps medical facilities in Japan, such as the United States Naval Hospital Yokosuka, for over 15 years, demonstrating its expertise and established logistical capabilities in the region.
