Hirokou Corporation

Hirokou Corporation, a for-profit Japanese manufacturer headquartered in Numazu, Shizuoka, supplies vehicle parts and automotive components to the United States Marine Corps as a prime contractor under a single-award blanket purchase agreement. The vendor operates entirely outside the SBA set-aside universe, competing full-and-open for specialized automotive procurement.

Hirokou's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated and nascent. All five awards in the source data flow from the Marine Corps exclusively, representing $1 million in combined potential value across a three-year span (2024–2026). The vendor holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (M6740024A0002) established March 4, 2024, with a $1 million ceiling and performance extending through March 3, 2029. Four BPA calls have been issued against this vehicle to date: a $10,384.12 call in June 2024 for vehicle parts (completed July 25, 2024); a January 2025 call for Japanese vehicle parts (completed February 26, 2025); a February 2026 call for Japan vehicle parts with a $7,402.55 ceiling (completed May 19, 2026); and an April 2026 call for Japan vehicle parts with a $2,142.03 ceiling (completed April 16, 2026). All work is performed in Japan. The vendor reports $20 thousand in obligated dollars across the five awards—only 2% of combined potential value—indicating sparse invoicing to date relative to the BPA's authorized spend.

Hirokou's capability portfolio is confined to automotive parts supply under NAICS Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing and PSC Miscellaneous Vehicular Components. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year (2024, 2026) with one intervening award in 2025; the vendor has no subcontract footprint and does not appear on any broader government-wide acquisition contracts or agency IDIQs outside this single Marine Corps BPA.
