Okinawa Elevator Maintenance Union

Okinawa Elevator Maintenance Union, a for-profit organization headquartered in Naha, Japan, provides elevator, escalator, conveyor, and door maintenance and repair services to the U.S. Department of Defense in the Pacific region as a prime contractor competing on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor has operated as a federal contractor since January 2005 and holds no subcontract relationships; all fifty-seven awards in the source data are prime positions.

The vendor's entire active footprint concentrates in mechanical systems maintenance at U.S. military installations in Okinawa, primarily Kadena Air Base. Work spans preventative maintenance, inspections, emergency repairs, parts procurement, and facility support covering approximately 105 elevators, 3 escalators, and door systems across Air Force and Army installations. Representative recent work includes a $169,710 delivery order from Pacific Air Forces for elevator maintenance supporting the 18th Civil Engineer Squadron (August 2024), a $111,307 elevator maintenance order (January 2025), an $83,557 escalator parts procurement (September 2025), and a $94,037 elevator maintenance delivery order for Air Force military family housing (January 2026).

Customer concentration is extreme. The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces accounts for 47 of 57 awards (82% of the total) and $25.8 million of the $26.8 million combined potential value, dominating both volume and dollars by a factor of 26:1 over the second-place customer. The Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service places 7 awards valued at $982 thousand, and the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region contributes 2 awards worth $28 thousand. The two rankings align perfectly — no divergence between volume and value concentration.

The vendor currently maintains two active IDVs. The primary vehicle is a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (FA527014D0010) awarded January 22, 2024, with a $3 million ceiling and an ultimate completion date of July 21, 2029; nine delivery orders totaling approximately $613,162 have been issued under this IDC since award. A secondary multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $200,000 for semi-annual door maintenance across Air Force installations runs through October 4, 2026. Five historical IDCs also remain in the source portfolio, carrying task order activity from prior fiscal years, with combined potential value of approximately $10.3 million across forty-six orders.

Activity in recent years has been modest but steady — one award in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2024, and four in 2025 — with only three awards (combined potential value $169 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. This recompete window is minimal relative to the vendor's overall ceiling exposure. The vendor's work is performed exclusively in Japan at Kadena Air Base and supporting facilities; place of performance is a permanent operational constraint tied to the geographic location of the customer base.
