Jfe-K Scrap JV

Jfe-K Scrap JV International Business Dept. Division, a Japan-based for-profit environmental services company headquartered in Yokohama, provides industrial waste management, solid waste collection, transportation, and disposal services to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor operating exclusively in Japan with no subcontract footprint. The vendor competes full-and-open across all awards with no set-aside designations; it operates two master single-award indefinite delivery contracts anchoring 98 percent of its recent award volume by customer agency count.

The vendor's customer base is heavily concentrated with Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Indo-Pacific region. Navy Installations Command dominates both potential value and strategic importance, holding a $3.48 billion single-award IDC through November 2029 for integrated solid waste management at Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo, which has generated 226 task orders valued at $11.1 million in combined potential. The U.S. Marine Corps holds a second master contract valued at $36.3 million through August 2032 for waste management services at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, awarded in August 2025, with 13 task orders carrying $19.3 million in combined potential. Naval Sea Systems Command drives award volume by count (195 awards) but carries lower dollar magnitude ($1.9 million combined potential), reflecting routine monthly industrial waste disposal tasks averaging under $10 thousand per delivery order. Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services (53 awards, $10.3 million potential) and US Pacific Fleet Forces (4 awards, $3.2 million potential) round out the active set. The concentration pattern diverges sharply between volume and dollars: NAVSEA and DLA dominate task order frequency through recurring monthly contracts, while Navy Installations Command and Marine Corps anchor the strategic value through large option-period renewals.

The vendor's capability footprint is narrow and concrete: industrial waste disposal, solid waste collection and transportation, medical waste handling, scrap metal recycling, and electronic waste removal at U.S. military installations in Japan. Representative delivery orders include a $1.65 million fourth option period recurring work order from US Pacific Fleet Forces for integrated solid waste management at Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo (December 2025), a $3.67 million base period delivery order from Marine Corps for waste services at MCAS Iwakuni (August 2025), a $137 thousand specialized removal project from Marine Corps covering televisions, computer monitors, mattresses, and wood pallets across four buildings (July 2022), and dozens of recurring $8 thousand to $10 thousand monthly industrial waste disposal tasks from Naval Sea Systems Command.

Activity has contracted sharply from 84 awards in 2022 to 11 awards in the first five months of 2026, reflecting the transition from high-frequency small monthly delivery orders to fewer but larger option-period exercises on the two master IDCs. Combined potential value is inflated by the two master contracts' ceiling values ($3.48 billion and $36.3 million); obligated dollars tell a more accurate story at $44.5 million (1 percent of potential), indicating the vendor invoices routinely against both vehicles but the master ceilings are not fully utilized. Two awards totaling $5.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure concentrated on routine waste disposal task orders rather than the master IDC vehicles themselves.

The vendor operates as a sole-source provider for environmental services at its primary installations—CFAS Sasebo and MCAS Iwakuni—with no identified competitors or subcontractors across the award portfolio. Its geographic footprint is Japan-only; place of performance on every award is Japan. It holds no positions on government-wide contract vehicles, GSA Schedules, or agency BPAs outside its two Navy and Marine Corps master IDCs. The vendor's business model is structurally dependent on the renewal or replacement of those two single-award master contracts when they approach expiration (Navy Installations IDC through November 2029; Marine Corps IDC through August 2032).
