Kubo Industries Co.,Ltd.

Kubo Industries Co., Ltd., a for-profit Japanese corporation based in Nagasaki, Japan, delivers ship maintenance, repair, and replacement services to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor, operating exclusively under a single Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command and competing on an unrestricted, non-set-aside basis. The vendor has executed 101 delivery orders since 2020 across amphibious assault ships (LHA class), amphibious transport docks (LPD class), dock landing ships (LSD class), mine countermeasures craft (MCM class), landing craft (LCU, LCAC), and guided missile destroyers (DDG class) stationed in the Pacific region, with work performed in Japan.

Kubo Industries' capability footprint centers on specialized vessel maintenance spanning insulation and lagging replacement, scaffolding and rigging installation, tank cleaning (fuel oil, ballast, waste water), ventilation and exhaust system repairs, metal joiner door and hinge pin replacement, deck coating and nonskid covering installation, pyrotechnic locker repair, and general infrastructure maintenance on forward-deployed naval assets. Representative recent work includes a $61,229.12 delivery order from March 2026 for insulation and lagging replacement on an LSD-class vessel, a $40,172.43 March 2026 order for additive manufacturing support on USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7), a $65,453.41 January 2024 order for insulation, lagging, and furniture procurement on LPD-18, and an $88,493.03 January 2024 order for crane transportation services on LPD-18. The vendor also performs minor component fabrication, including fasteners, position buoy pendants, and diffuser assemblies.

Customer concentration is absolute and represents recompete risk: Naval Sea Systems Command accounts for all 101 awards and 100 percent of combined potential value at $1.7 million. Kubo Industries operates exclusively under one parent vehicle—Basic Ordering Agreement N6824620G0005 with Naval Sea Systems Command—through which 98 of the 101 task orders flow, carrying $1.6 million in combined potential value. This single-award BOA structure creates dependency on vehicle renewal; the source materials reference a BOA expiration date in April 2025, though recent awards through March 2026 suggest either renewal or administrative extension. The vendor maintains no subcontractor footprint and performs all work directly as prime.

Activity has remained steady across five years at 15 to 20 awards annually, with modest fluctuation (2022: 20 awards; 2023: 19; 2024: 15; 2025: 18; 2026: 16 through mid-March). Fifteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $335 thousand, representing near-term recompete exposure. Kubo Industries' NAICS and PSC footprint is tightly concentrated: 101 awards fall under Ship Building and Repairing (NAICS primary), with 99 awards classified under PSC Non-Nuclear Ship Repair (West) and two under Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Ship and Marine Equipment. Firm fixed-price delivery orders dominate the portfolio, with order values ranging from sub-thousand-dollar component replacements to six-figure infrastructure projects. The vendor has maintained continuous SAM registration since October 2018 and holds no SBA certifications, minority ownership designations, or set-aside eligibility; competition for Kubo Industries' work occurs on full-and-open terms only.
