Air Korea Ind. Co., LTD

Air Korea Ind. Co., LTD, a South Korea-based for-profit manufacturer of industrial gases, supplies nitrogen, oxygen, aviator oxygen, and hydrostatic testing services to the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense as a prime contractor under full-and-open (non-set-aside) competition. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) with no subcontract footprint, competing in the open market without SBA certifications or minority-ownership designations.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated in the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), which accounts for 63 of 94 awards (67% of awards) and $1.9 million of the $4.3 million combined potential value across all recent awards—96% of award count is represented by the top five customer agencies. The Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service anchors the second-largest potential-value share at $1.5 million from a single award, though by award count PACAF dominates; the Department of the Army, Army Pacific Command, and the Defense Contract Management Agency provide secondary volume. Air Korea's work is geographically concentrated in South Korea, supporting aircraft maintenance, munitions handling, and aviator operations at U.S. military installations across the Pacific region.

Air Korea holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with PACAF valued at $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027, under which it has issued 16 recorded BPA call orders and delivery orders ranging from $2,429.57 to $22,874.81 over the past several years. Beyond PACAF, the vendor places task orders under five Army IDIQs and BPAs, including Indefinite Delivery Contracts W91QVN13D0078 (25 task orders, $217 thousand combined potential value), W90VN618D0002 (23 task orders, $278 thousand combined potential value), and W90VN917D0001 (14 task orders, $138 thousand combined potential value), and Blanket Purchase Agreements W91QVN14A0004 (11 task orders, $225 thousand combined potential value) and W90VN623A0001 (9 task orders, $158 thousand combined potential value). Activity has contracted since 2021—four awards that year declined to two in 2025—with a combined potential value of $4.3 million and $1.2 million obligated to date.

Representative work includes a $19,933.64 BPA call from PACAF for gas refill and testing services awarded October 24, 2025 (ultimate completion November 24, 2025), a $21,365.24 BPA call for nitrogen and oxygen services awarded November 14, 2024 (completion November 28, 2024), and a $21,646.29 nitrogen gas refill delivery order awarded September 25, 2023 (completion October 4, 2023). The vendor's capability portfolio clusters in PSC Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (69 awards) and secondary NAICS coding in Industrial Gas Manufacturing and Other Chemical and Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers, reflecting its role as a specialized supplier for military-grade industrial gases in the Pacific theater.
