Korea Railroad Corporation

Korea Railroad Corporation (KRC) is a South Korean transportation and logistics services provider headquartered in Daejeon that specializes in railroad infrastructure maintenance, track inspections, and freight transportation services supporting U.S. military operations throughout the Pacific region. The company is a for-profit corporate entity that registered with SAM.gov on January 17, 2024, and has established itself as a strategic logistics partner for U.S. military commands, particularly the U.S. Army Pacific Command (USARPAC) and Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). KRC competes for federal contract opportunities without set-aside designations, demonstrating its capability to succeed in unrestricted competition for critical military logistics support.

Korea Railroad Corporation has provided an extensive range of services through multiple federal contract awards from the Department of Defense's military commands in the Pacific theater. The company's service portfolio includes railroad track inspections at military installations such as Kunsan Air Base and Osan Air Base, railroad crossing alarm installation, routine inspection of railroad sidetracks, and comprehensive freight transportation operations within South Korea. Between February 2024 and September 2025, KRC received contract awards totaling approximately $2.0 million in firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders, with ceiling values ranging from $8,101.94 to $540,249.33. These awards have been issued by USARPAC and PACAF with no set-aside designations, indicating open and unrestricted competition. Notable contracts include a five-year railway inspection services contract at Osan Air Base valued at $31,529.04, a $103,748.31 railroad track inspection contract at Kunsan Air Base, and a $540,249.33 delivery order for Operation Railcar freight transportation. All of KRC's awarded contracts are prime contractor awards with no subcontracting relationships documented in the federal award history.

Korea Railroad Corporation holds two substantial single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the U.S. Army Pacific Command, collectively valued at approximately $9.6 million through December 31, 2028. The first IDC, awarded February 1, 2024, has a ceiling value of $7,435,585.08 (reported in one source as $8,187,330.92) for ongoing freight transportation services within South Korea. The second IDC, also awarded February 1, 2024, carries a ceiling value of $2,441,313.19 for additional freight transportation capabilities. These IDCs provide USARPAC with flexible and responsive logistics support to sustain U.S. military operations in the Pacific region and serve as the parent vehicles under which USARPAC has issued multiple delivery orders for specific freight transportation and rail infrastructure services. The IDCs represent the cornerstone of KRC's federal contracting relationship, ensuring long-term strategic partnership with the Department of Defense through December 2028.
