Iwakuni City

Iwakuni City, a foreign government entity based in Yamaguchi, Japan, provides sewage treatment services to U.S. Marine Corps installations in Iwakuni as a prime contractor under recurring biannual delivery orders, with 100% of its federal award footprint concentrated in a single customer and a single parent ordering agreement.

Iwakuni City operates as a municipal entity with one named subsidiary, the Iwakuni City Waterworks Bureau, which manages water distribution and infrastructure support through separate contracts. The vendor is registered to receive federal awards since June 2017 and competes without set-aside designation. All ten awards in the source data are firm fixed price delivery orders issued by the U.S. Marine Corps under Basic Ordering Agreement FA520917G0004, structured on a biannual cycle with delivery orders typically issued on April 1st and October 1st each year. Performance periods extend through July 31, 2047, reflecting the sustained operational requirements for utility infrastructure supporting the American military presence in the Pacific.

Customer concentration is absolute. The United States Marine Corps accounts for 10 awards and the entire $546 thousand in combined potential value across Iwakuni City's federal footprint. The vendor has no subcontractor relationships in the source data and no presence on government-wide acquisition vehicles or multi-agency contract platforms — the relationship is entirely bilateral and location-specific to Iwakuni. Award volume has remained flat at two delivery orders per year (biannual renewals) across the past five years, with individual delivery order ceilings ranging from $50,415 to $73,590. The most recent award was issued on October 1, 2025, and the combined dollars obligated across all awards match the combined potential value at $546 thousand, indicating full obligation across the active portfolio. Category coding reflects utilities and sewage treatment services under PSC Utilities-Other and related machinery manufacturing NAICS.

Iwakuni City's federal footprint represents a narrow, stable utility-services relationship anchored to a single overseas military installation. The extended performance period and recurring biannual award structure signal a mature, institutionalized vendor relationship with no competitive exposure or pipeline growth projected; the arrangement underscores the operational necessity of established local partnerships in sustaining U.S. military readiness at forward-based installations.
