Sanyu-Shoji Co., LTD.

Sanyu-Shoji Co., LTD, a Japan-based for-profit transportation services provider, operates as a prime contractor delivering student bus transportation and facility maintenance services to the federal government exclusively in the Asia-Pacific region, competing full-and-open without set-aside designation. The company is headquartered in Japan and holds no SBA certifications; recent federal activity spans 49 awards (100% prime) with a combined potential value of $26 million, of which $8.2 million has been obligated.

The Department of Defense Education Activity dominates Sanyu-Shoji's customer footprint, accounting for 46 awards (94% by count, $25.6 million in combined potential value) for student transportation to DoDEA schools across mainland Japan and the Sasebo military community. Sanyu-Shoji holds two significant single-award indefinite delivery vehicles with DoDEA: a $6,062,325.71 IDIQ running through January 2028 for daily commute driver services supporting the Sasebo military community, and a $7 million blanket purchase agreement running through January 2032 for long-haul bus transportation serving curricular, co-curricular, and athletic activities at DoDEA schools throughout mainland Japan. Individual task orders and BPA calls under these vehicles typically range from $8,300 to $842,897 and cover routes between military installations such as Nile C. Kinnick High School, Matthew C. Perry High School, Yokota High School, and Camp Zama. Two awards from the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command total $134 thousand for facility-related work, and one award from the Defense Logistics Agency Distribution, valued at $244,725.31 and awarded in March 2025 under Total Small Business set-aside, covers preventive and corrective maintenance for Modula Vertical Lift Module equipment at Camp Carroll, South Korea through March 2028.

Activity has grown year over year from four awards in 2022 to a peak of 16 in 2024, declining to seven in 2025 and one in early 2026. Only two awards totaling $731 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete risk in that window. Sanyu-Shoji's award portfolio concentrates on NAICS 485410 (School and Employee Bus Transportation), accounting for 46 of 49 awards; the remaining three awards fall under manufacturing and equipment leasing NAICS codes tied to the DLA maintenance order and two Navy vehicle-related procurements. Across all work, Sanyu-Shoji operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint in the source data, delivering services directly to DoDEA and other customer agencies. The vendor's geographic footprint is entirely Asia-Pacific, with place of performance in Japan (Sasebo, Yokosuka, Misawa, Camp Zama) and South Korea (Camp Carroll), supporting military-connected student transportation and facility sustainment for the defense education mission.
