Daiichi Bussan Co., LTD.

Daiichi Bussan Co., LTD. Hachinohe Branch Division, a Japan-based for-profit chemical supplier, provides deicing chemicals, water treatment chemicals, and chemical delivery and injection services to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor with no federal vehicle holdings and operates exclusively on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-aside designations.

The vendor's customer footprint is highly concentrated. Pacific Air Forces accounts for 224 of 260 prime awards (86% of the portfolio) and $24 million of $25.9 million combined potential value (93%), with the Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service accounting for 29 awards worth $554 thousand and representing the remainder of active customer relationships. Both volume and dollar rankings track identically — Pacific Air Forces dominates both dimensions. Daiichi Bussan serves Misawa Air Base in Japan exclusively, supporting the base's potable water systems, sewage treatment facilities, boiler plants, and airfield operations.

The vendor's capability set centers on chemical wholesale supply under primary NAICS 424690 (Other Chemical and Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers), with 177 of 260 awards falling under that classification. Deicing and anti-icing chemicals—specifically potassium acetate and magnesium chloride in both granular and liquid formulations—represent the largest workload, alongside water treatment chemical delivery and injection services. Representative recent work includes a $692 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded March 23, 2026 for deicing chemicals supporting military family housing streets and airfields, a $390 thousand May 2025 purchase order for 120,000 liters of potassium acetate deicing fluid and 400,000 kilograms of granular magnesium chloride for Misawa Air Base, and a $510 thousand BPA call (October 2024 through September 2025) consolidating water treatment and chemical delivery services. The vendor also holds two active indefinite delivery IDVs with Pacific Air Forces: a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $2.23 million with performance through July 14, 2026, and an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract valued at $2.69 million, both established to enable as-needed chemical supply and injection services at Misawa Air Base.

Activity has declined sharply. The vendor received six awards in 2022, seven in 2023, three in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026, indicating a downward trajectory across the past four years. Only one award ($692 thousand) faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Daiichi Bussan self-performs all work through its Hachinohe Branch location and carries no subcontract relationships or sub-awards in the source data. The vendor's total obligated dollars stand at $13.7 million against $25.9 million combined potential value (53% obligation rate), reflecting the typical call-against-IDV posture common in military installation support contracting.
