Nippon Express Co.,Ltd.

Nippon Express Co., Ltd., a Japanese logistics company, operates as a prime contractor exclusively providing government furnishings movement and relocation services to the U.S. Air Force at Misawa Air Base, Japan, competing full-and-open with no small business set-asides across its federal footprint.

Nippon Express is a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, with a dedicated Government Business Division (administratively based in Tokyo) focused on federal logistics support. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since April 2004. Its federal work concentrates on NAICS 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving) and PSC Transportation/Motor Freight classifications, encompassing the physical movement, storage, and relocation of furniture, appliances, and government-owned property to facilitate personnel rotations and base operations.

Nippon Express's customer base is heavily concentrated with Pacific Air Forces, which accounts for 53 of 64 total awards (83% by count, $8.5 million of $9.2 million combined potential value). The Department of the Air Force's Defense Finance and Accounting Service holds 8 awards worth $734 thousand, and the Department of the Navy Installations Command carries 3 awards valued at $8 thousand. Both rankings align — Pacific Air Forces dominates volume and dollars with no tension between the two measures. The company holds four active indefinite delivery contracts under Pacific Air Forces: IDC FA520513D0001 (18 task orders, $887 thousand), IDC FA520523D0001 (14 task orders, $624 thousand), IDC FA520518D0001 (13 task orders, $1.2 million), and IDC FA520507D0006 (11 task orders, $1.1 million). The primary parent contract, a $1,022,985.76 single-award IDC awarded October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2027, has generated approximately $373 thousand in delivery orders to date with individual task orders typically ranging from $16,192.71 to $104,972.86. Recent awards include a $45,620.53 delivery order for government furnishings movement at Misawa Air Base (January 21, 2026), a $24,999.96 task order for Option Year 3 furnishings movement (January 6, 2026), and a $76,393.51 Option Year 2 order (October 1, 2024).

Activity has declined from seven awards in 2022 to two in both 2025 and 2026, with only three awards (combined potential value $90 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Nippon Express operates exclusively as a prime contractor with zero subcontract activity in its federal portfolio. All work is performed in Japan at Misawa Air Base with firm fixed-price structures and no set-aside designations.
