Kawasaki Heat Treatment Co.,Ltd.

Kawasaki Heat Treatment Co., Ltd., a Japanese for-profit organization based in Ayase, Kanagawa, provides sandblasting, painting, and surface preparation services exclusively to the U.S. Navy as a full-and-open prime contractor with no set-aside designation across its 90 federal awards dating to 2005. The vendor operates entirely on the prime side (100% prime awards, zero subcontracts) and competes in full-and-open procurement—no SBA certifications or socioeconomic set-asides appear in its footprint.

Kawasaki Heat Treatment's customer concentration is extreme: 99 percent of its 90 awards (87 contracts) flow from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), with combined potential value of $698 thousand across this base. A single award to the Defense Health Agency ($446) and one to Navy Installations Command ($777) represent the only non-NAVAIR activity. All work is performed in Japan, predominantly at Fleet Readiness Center Western Pacific (FRCWP) and Naval Air Station Atsugi, supporting aircraft and equipment maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations for Navy and Marine Corps aviation assets in the Western Pacific theater.

Kawasaki Heat Treatment sits on four Navy indefinite delivery contracts (IDCs) established between 2006 and 2021, with validity running through July 31, 2026. The largest IDC by task-order count is N6264921D0039, generating 31 delivery orders (combined potential value $31 thousand); IDC N6264916D0014 has issued 26 task orders ($48 thousand potential value); IDC N6264906D0003 (the oldest vehicle, established June 24, 2021) carries six orders but the highest per-order magnitude ($307 thousand combined). Recent delivery orders are small and frequent—the April 8, 2026 award for sandblasting and painting services at FRCWP Atsugi totaled $2,313.20, and other 2026 orders range from $303 to $1,010.40. Over the past five years, award velocity has declined from 13 orders in 2023 to four orders in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026 year-to-date, suggesting either consolidation of task orders into fewer, larger calls or reduced demand.

The vendor's NAICS footprint is narrow: 89 of 90 awards fall under NAICS 332813 (Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring), with PSC codes dominated by maintenance/repair/rebuild of materials-handling equipment (73 awards) and technical representation for hardware and abrasives (9 awards). This highly specialized, geographically constrained footprint—anchored to a single Navy facility and single technical capability—makes Kawasaki Heat Treatment a localized, incumbent provider rather than a broad federal contractor. The combined potential value of $751 thousand across 21 years of contracting reflects the modest per-order magnitude; obligated dollars total $138 thousand (18 percent of potential value).
