Handuk Iron-Mine & Construction Co., LTD.

Handuk Iron-Mine & Construction Co., LTD., a for-profit South Korean facilities maintenance and construction contractor headquartered in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, operates exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal awards with no set-aside designations, delivering comprehensive facilities maintenance, repair, renovation, and grounds services to U.S. government installations in the Republic of Korea.

The vendor's customer footprint concentrates heavily on the Department of Defense Education Activity, which accounts for 24 awards (44% of recent volume) valued at $33.7 million combined potential value across a single-award IDC framework. The Department of State Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs and the Bureau of Overseas Building Operations together hold 16 awards worth $6.3 million, while the Department of the Army and Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces round out the active set with 13 awards worth $8.2 million. One Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Far East award anchors $22.4 million in combined potential value but represents a single-award outlier; the top five customer agencies collectively account for 98% of awards. The two rankings diverge meaningfully — DoDEA dominates by volume and dollars — but Army Corps of Engineers' outsized dollar share reflects a single large contract vehicle rather than recurring business.

Handuk holds three active Indefinite Delivery Contracts valued collectively at approximately $26.6 million. The primary vehicle, DoDEA's single-award IDC HE125424D1004 valued at $22.9 million (performance through February 5, 2030), has generated 23 task orders totaling $10.7 million in combined potential value for maintenance services across DoDEA educational facilities throughout South Korea. Recent work under this contract includes a $2.24 million delivery order (September 2025) for repair of failing Exterior Insulation and Finish System at Humphreys High School, a $359 thousand order (April 2026) for HVAC system replacement at Humphreys District School Office, and a $244 thousand order (March 2026) for mass notification system repair at Humphreys Middle School. Pacific Air Forces holds a single-award IDC (W91QVN16D0017, $1.58 million, performance through June 30, 2027) for maintenance and repair of Hardened Aircraft Shelter doors at Kunsan Air Base, with 6 delivery orders and $1.2 million combined potential value for quarterly inspections, preventive maintenance, and emergency repair services. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations holds a multiple-award IDC (valued at $2.08 million, performance through August 15, 2027) for make-ready maintenance and renovation services.

Activity has accelerated sharply — three awards per year in 2022 and 2023 to 22 awards in 2025 — with nine awards (combined potential value $7.1 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. Obligated dollars total $33.5 million across all awards, representing 48% of combined potential value, indicating available pipeline on existing vehicles.

Capability portfolio centers on HVAC installation and repair, fire alarm and fire safety system replacement, building envelope remediation, plumbing and drainage repair, electrical systems work, landscaping and grounds maintenance, janitorial services, and equipment replacement across educational, military, and diplomatic facilities. The vendor executes all awarded work as prime contractor without identified subcontractors. Work is performed exclusively in South Korea at multiple DoD, State Department, and Army installations, with administrative oversight tied to customer contracting offices in the region.
