Nippo Corporation

Nippo Corporation, a foreign-owned construction company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, operates as a prime contractor delivering military construction, repair, maintenance, and facilities support services exclusively to Department of Defense installations throughout Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. The company competes on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis with no small business set-aside eligibility; all awards carry no set-aside designations, reflecting Nippo's specialized capabilities and local expertise as the sole contractor category serving U.S. military installations in Japan under Status of Forces Agreement frameworks.

Nippo's federal footprint concentrates heavily on construction and facilities work at overseas installations. The company's portfolio spans 1,744 prime awards valued at $12.88 billion in combined potential value, with $2.34 billion obligated across all awards. Activity peaked at 32 awards in 2022 but has declined to 14 awards in 2026, reflecting a recompete cliff of 33 awards worth $478.9 million completing in the next twenty-four months. The top NAICS categories are Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (435 awards), Foundation and Exterior Contractors (173 awards), and Highway and Street Construction (144 awards), anchored by PSC codes for maintenance and repair of office and miscellaneous buildings, highway construction, and repair services.

Customer concentration aligns almost entirely with Pacific Region military customers. The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces dominates by volume (487 awards, $6.66 billion potential value), followed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Japan (106 awards, $2.35 billion), the U.S. Marine Corps (53 awards, $1.52 billion), the Department of the Navy Installations Command (202 awards, $1.2 billion), and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (46 awards, $957.4 million). Together, these five customer organizations account for 98% of Nippo's combined potential value. Work is performed exclusively in Japan across Misawa Air Base, Kadena Air Base, Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Camp Zama, Yokota Air Base, Okinawa installations, and Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo.

Nippo holds a portfolio of major indefinite-delivery contract vehicles anchoring its federal business. The largest IDVs include a $995 million Multiple Award Construction Contract for design-build and design-bid-build services across military and non-military properties throughout Japan (awarded September 2025, extending through September 2028); a $990 million MACC for U.S. Army Installations within Honshu and Yokota Air Base (awarded January 2025, extending through January 2035); a $495 million MACC for Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni (awarded June 2023, extending through June 2031); a $250 million MACC for the Kanto Plains operational area under Naval Facilities Engineering Command (awarded June 2023, extending through June 2028); a $245 million multiple-award MATOC for sustainment, restoration, and modernization at Okinawa installations (awarded May 2026, extending through May 2031); and a $31.35 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract for airfield and pavement services at Misawa Air Base (awarded March 2023, extending through March 2028). Nippo also holds a $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for pavement marking services (awarded July 2024, extending through June 2029) and a $5 million BPA for pavement construction materials (awarded July 2023, extending through July 2027).

A $102.7 million ENDIST Japan contract awarded October 2022 supported interior and exterior modernization of 130 single-family housing units at Kadena Air Base over a 60-month performance period, completing September 2026. A $68.9 million definitive contract from ENDIST Japan in September 2023 funded construction of Air Force Special Operations Command squadron operations facilities, hangars, and parts warehouses at Yokota Air Base, with completion targeted for April 2027. A $65.7 million contract from ENDIST Japan awarded September 2022 supported whole-house revitalization of Ikego Townhouse Phase 3 at Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka, completing April 2025. A $62.5 million ENDIST Japan contract in June 2023 covered whole-house revitalization of Ikego Townhouses Phase 4 at the same installation, completing June 2026. Smaller-value delivery orders exemplify sustained operational maintenance: a $32 million Pacific Air Forces contract in February 2025 for repair of 29 military family housing units at Misawa Air Base; a $19.4 million Marine Corps delivery order in June 2023 for repair of a Bachelor Enlisted Quarters building at Iwakuni; and numerous pavement, roofing, and structural repair orders ranging from $50,000 to $2.8 million across multiple installations.
