Daewon Express Co., LTD.

Daewon Express Co., LTD., a South Korean for-profit transportation and logistics company based in Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, operates as a prime contractor providing commercial bus services, student transportation, freight movement, and personnel logistics to U.S. military and defense-education customers in South Korea on open full-and-open competitive contracts with no set-aside designations.

The company competes exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and holds no subcontractor relationships in its federal footprint. Daewon Express registered with the federal government in December 2021 and has grown activity substantially — from three awards in 2022 to seventeen in 2024 and fourteen in 2025 — generating $78.4 million in combined potential value across forty prime awards, of which $15.6 million has been obligated to date. All work is performed in South Korea, with primary operational presence at Camp Humphreys.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Defense Education Activity, which accounts for twelve awards representing $63.9 million (82% of combined potential value) in student transportation delivery orders. The Department of the Army Pacific Command anchors the remaining volume with twenty-six awards worth $14.5 million, chiefly BPA task orders for commercial bus and personnel-transport services. A single award from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (Army Sustainment Command) for non-tactical vehicle parts rounds out the customer set. The two top-customer rankings diverge materially: DoDEA dominates dollars by a significant margin despite holding fewer awards than Army Pacific Command, a reflection of DoDEA's larger delivery-order structure.

Daewon Express sits on two parent vehicles anchoring all recent work. The primary vehicle is a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (W91QVN24A0017) with the U.S. Army Pacific Command, awarded January 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $18.16 billion (as modified) running through December 31, 2028. This BPA has generated twenty-seven task orders carrying $682 thousand in combined potential value; individual calls range from under $1,000 to approximately $139,000 and typically carry one- to three-month performance periods. The secondary vehicle is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HE125423D2007) with the Department of Defense Education Activity, awarded August 1, 2023, with a ceiling value of $28,098,038 running through January 31, 2029. This IDC has generated seven delivery orders worth $12.1 million for student transportation at Camp Humphreys. A third vehicle, an IDC (HE125418D2013) with DoDEA, contributed three delivery orders totaling $2.9 million. The recompete cliff is modest: only one award (combined potential value $2.9 million) reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Capability work is tightly defined around transportation. Under the Army Pacific Command BPA, Daewon Express issues monthly task orders for commercial bus operations, freight shipment, and equipment movement in support of logistics operations across South Korea, with awards such as $7,108 (December 2025), $6,815 (October 2025), and $139,467 (May 2024) representing routine monthly and quarterly procurement. Under the DoDEA IDCs, the company delivers comprehensive student transportation for military dependents, with delivery orders including a $3,450,925 award (November 2024) for student transportation through July 2025, a $2,500,174 award (November 2023) for Camp Humphreys student services through September 2024, and a $2,869,132 award (November 2025) for commute and special-needs transportation through July 2026. A single Army Sustainment Command BPA call for $14,110 (March 2025) addressed non-tactical vehicle parts procurement. The source identifies primary NAICS codes as "All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation" (twenty-eight awards) and "School and Employee Bus Transportation" (twelve awards); primary PSC codes track to motor charter and passenger motor vehicle services.
