Ko-One Energy Service Co.,Ltd

Ko-One Energy Service Co., Ltd., a Seoul-based subsidiary of SK Inc.'s Defense Business Department Division, supplies liquefied natural gas to U.S. Army installations in South Korea as a prime contractor under two single-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region, competing on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit entity registered in the System for Award Management since November 2010 and operates exclusively in utility gas distribution (PSC code: Utilities–Gas; NAICS 486210: Natural Gas Distribution) under firm fixed-price delivery orders.

Ko-One's federal footprint is wholly concentrated with a single customer: the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region accounts for all 40 awards and $37 million in combined potential value. The company holds two parent IDVs, both awarded December 1, 2022, and running through November 30, 2032. The larger IDV (W91QVN23D0004) covers natural gas supply to K-16 Army installation with a ceiling of $3.74 million and has generated eight delivery orders totaling approximately $1.8 million. The second IDV (W91QVN23D0006) supports 39 Detachment in Gyeonggi Province with a ceiling of $77,341.40 and has generated seven delivery orders totaling approximately $30 thousand. Representative recent delivery orders include a $581,000 order for K-16 natural gas supply (awarded December 1, 2024; completion August 31, 2025), a $325,000 order for utility gas across installations (awarded November 1, 2025; completion January 31, 2026), and a $148,700 order for K-16 natural gas (awarded March 1, 2026; completion October 31, 2026). Two additional legacy IDVs (W91QVN13D0011 and W91QVN07D0024) remain active, collectively generating 21 task orders worth approximately $8.7 million, though these vehicles are nearing exhaustion.

Activity has declined from five awards in 2022 to an average of three per year over 2024–2026, with only two awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $152 thousand). Ko-One operates as a sole-source provider under SOFA Article VI provisions governing utilities at U.S. military facilities and holds authority to modify liquefied natural gas consumer rates for its assigned facilities. All performance occurs in South Korea. The company's federal engagement is narrowly specialized: it functions as a captive energy supplier to a fixed military installation footprint with no subcontract relationships, no vehicle diversity, and no cross-agency customer exposure.
