Kirin Brewery Co., LTD.

Kirin Brewery Co., LTD. is a Japanese beverage company that provides soft drinks and bottled water to the U.S. federal government through its subsidiaries. The company's primary federal contractor appears to be Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Southeastern New England, Inc., which supplies Coca-Cola brand products and Dasani water to government agencies. Kirin Brewery Co., LTD. is one of Japan's largest breweries and beverage companies, known for producing beer, soft drinks, and other beverages for domestic and international markets.

Through its Coca-Cola Bottling subsidiary, Kirin Brewery Co., LTD. has provided a variety of beverages to U.S. government agencies, primarily the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence. Products supplied include Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, Sprite, Barq's Root Beer, Fanta, Dasani water, and various juices and iced teas. Most contract awards are for small quantities of beverages, typically ranging from $50 to $3,000 in value. The majority of awards are delivery orders or Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) calls for specific quantities of drinks to be delivered to military bases or other government facilities. No set-aside designations were used for these awards, indicating they were made through full and open competition.

Kirin Brewery Co., LTD.'s subsidiary holds several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with the Defense Logistics Agency, including contract numbers SPE30016D9364, SPE30017D9304, SPE30019D9302, and SPE30021A9341. These IDVs allow the government to place orders for various Coca-Cola brand beverages and Dasani water as needed. The contracts appear to be part of the DLA's broader subsistence supply program, supporting the agency's mission to provide food and beverages to U.S. military personnel worldwide. Task orders under these IDVs are consistently awarded by the DLA Troop Support Subsistence office for delivery to specific locations, primarily in the New England region where the Coca-Cola Bottling subsidiary is based.
