Kotobuki Shoji LIMITED

Kotobuki Shoji LIMITED, a Japan-based facility support contractor, delivers custodial, grounds maintenance, landscaping, and snow removal services to U.S. military installations in the Pacific region as a full-and-open prime contractor with no SBA set-aside posture. The company is a for-profit limited liability corporation headquartered in Japan, registered with SAM since April 2004, and competes exclusively in unrestricted federal procurements — all 269 recent awards carry no set-aside designation. Work centers on NAICS codes for other services to buildings and dwellings (109 awards), janitorial services (99 awards), and landscaping services (34 awards), with PSC framing dominated by housekeeping categories: snow removal and salt (122 awards), other housekeeping (62 awards), and custodial janitorial (55 awards).

Kotobuki Shoji's customer concentration is extreme and regionally coherent. Pacific Air Forces accounts for 87% of the award count (136 awards, $21.4 million combined potential value) and 72% of all combined potential value across the portfolio. The Department of the Navy Installations Command holds 23 awards valued at $5 million, and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service holds 41 awards worth $1.1 million combined, with the remaining customer set (Defense Commissary Agency, Department of Defense Education Activity, and others) accounting for less than 4% of potential value. This concentration reflects the company's geographic and operational footprint: nearly all work performs at Misawa Air Base and Naval Commands Misawa and Hachinohe in Japan.

Kotobuki Shoji holds a portfolio of single-award indefinite-delivery contracts and blanket purchase agreements against Pacific Air Forces and Navy Installations Command. The largest vehicle is Air Force IDC FA520512D0001, supporting 81 task orders worth $4 million combined potential value. A newer Navy single-award IDC, awarded March 13, 2025, carries a $1.178 million ceiling through March 31, 2030, with a one-year base period and four one-year options, and has already issued multiple delivery orders for custodial and grounds services at the Misawa and Hachinohe naval facilities. Representative work includes a $6.408 million purchase order from Pacific Air Forces (awarded December 1, 2021, completing November 30, 2026) for snow removal and grass cutting at Misawa Air Base, a $218,437 delivery order from Navy Installations Command (March 13, 2026, completing March 31, 2027) for custodial and grounds service under the newly awarded IDC, and a $215,035 purchase order from Pacific Air Forces (June 25, 2024) for tree trimming and pruning at military installations addressing safety hazards. Activity is modest and stable — two awards per year in 2024 and 2025, one in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $6.6 million) facing completion inside the next twenty-four months. Kotobuki Shoji operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint and competes exclusively in the Japan-based military installation support market, requiring offerors to maintain Japanese bank accounts and comply with Japanese labor standards and regulations.
