Hayashikane EST Co.,Ltd.

Hayashikane EST Co., Ltd., a Japan-based for-profit organization, supplies kerosene and aviation fuel to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor on small-value, recurring purchase orders, with no subcontract activity in the federal footprint.

The vendor operates as a full-and-open competitor with no SBA set-aside designations across its award history. Headquarters are in Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan (4-7 Matsuurachō, Sasebo, Nagasaki 857-0052), positioning the company as a local fuel supplier for U.S. naval operations in the Asia-Pacific region. Primary NAICS categorization is Petroleum Refineries (26 of 35 awards), with secondary exposure in petroleum products merchant wholesaling and chemical manufacturing. PSC coding reflects fuel oils and miscellaneous waxes and oils (28 of 35 awards classified as Miscellaneous Waxes, Oils, And Fats; 5 as Fuel Oils).

Customer concentration is singular and concentrated. The Department of the Navy accounts for 100% of awards across two organizational units: the U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (22 awards, $35 thousand combined potential value) and the broader Navy (11 awards, $22 thousand combined potential value), with one award from Naval Sea Systems Command and one from the Defense Logistics Agency Energy. The rankings are identical — Pacific Fleet Forces both places the highest volume and anchors the dollar value.

Recent representative work consists entirely of kerosene purchase orders issued at roughly $2,400 to $2,500 per order. Awards include a $2,499.32 purchase order (April 15, 2026) for kerosene fueling service supporting firefighting training at a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force facility, completion May 20, 2026; a $2,498.28 kerosene order (August 5, 2025), completion October 31, 2025; and a $2,479.01 kerosene purchase order (April 4, 2024), completion May 31, 2024. The vendor has maintained this contract pattern since at least 2021, issuing approximately two purchase orders per calendar year.

The combined potential value across all 35 awards totals $57 thousand, but obligated dollars reach $199 thousand (349% of potential value), indicating that actual invoiced performance systematically exceeds stated ceiling values — a common pattern in small-value recurring fuel contracts where standing orders are renewed or topped up. No vehicle positions, IDVs, or GWACs appear in the award footprint; all work flows through direct Navy purchase orders. The vendor operates entirely as a prime with no subcontractor role. Activity is flat across the past five years (two awards per year in 2022–2025, one in 2026 year-to-date), with no recompete cliff — orders are low-value, recurring, and issued on short performance windows (typically four to six months).
