Takaesu Kohki Co., LTD.

Takaesu Kohki Co., LTD., a Japan-based for-profit corporation headquartered in Okinawa, supplies material handling equipment, construction materials, vehicle parts, and maintenance services to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurements with no small business set-asides. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2005 and operates exclusively from Japan, serving exclusively as a prime—all 357 recent federal awards are direct prime contracts or indefinite delivery vehicles with no identified subcontract footprint.

Takaesu Kohki's customer concentration is overwhelmingly Marine Corps-focused. The top five funding agencies account for 89% of recent awards by count and 87% by potential value, dominated by the United States Marine Corps (232 awards, $30.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (50 awards, $6.8 million), and the Department of the Navy Naval Construction Forces (16 awards, $5.8 million). The Defense Commissary Agency anchors the third-highest potential-value position with only three awards but a $3.5 million contract for material handling equipment maintenance and repair services across Okinawa commissary and distribution center locations through September 2027. The Marine Corps dominates both counts and dollars—reinforcing a single-customer dependency for roughly 56% of the entire prime portfolio.

The company's work splits across equipment procurement, maintenance and repair services, and specialized logistics support. Representative contracts include a $1.23 million five-year definitive contract with the Defense Commissary Agency (award Oct 2022) for forklift and material handling equipment preventive maintenance and repair across five Okinawa locations; a $512.7 thousand purchase order from the Marine Corps (award May 2024) for the lease and maintenance of 7-ton forklifts with a five-year performance period through May 2029; a $399.8 thousand Marine Corps boom truck lease and maintenance contract (award Sep 2023) covering two 14-meter and one 27-meter boom trucks through March 2027; a $560 thousand Pacific Air Forces vehicle procurement order (award Sep 2021) for two 5-ton vehicles designated for Kinser Laundry Facility; and a $560 thousand Defense Logistics Agency purchase order (award Jan 2026) for a new 50,000-pound diesel forklift. Smaller routine calls cover vehicle parts, batteries, gravel, construction materials, equipment rentals, and repair services, typically in the $1,000–$100,000 range.

Takaesu Kohki holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles: a $352.7 thousand single-award Pacific Air Forces ID/IQ contract (award Sep 2024) for laundry vehicle leases running through September 2027; a $1.41 million single-award Marine Corps BPA (award May 2022) through June 2027 for material handling equipment, construction materials, vehicle parts, and maintenance; a $1 million single-award Marine Corps BPA (award Dec 2022) for construction materials and heavy equipment rental through November 2027; a $400 thousand multiple-award Air Force Space Command and Pacific Air Forces BPA (award Oct 2021) for heavy equipment rental with operator through September 2026; and a $249 thousand multiple-award Department of the Army BPA (award Jul 2022) for material handling equipment and logistics support through June 2027. The top five parent BPAs by task-order volume are Marine Corps vehicles (20, 13, 13, 11, and 11 task orders respectively across different Marine Corps BPAs), with combined potential values ranging from $11 thousand to $216 thousand per vehicle. Activity has remained relatively flat year over year (20–25 awards annually from 2022–2025, with only two awards recorded through February 2026). Six awards (combined potential value $2.2 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will enter recompete.

The company's NAICS concentration centers on vehicle parts manufacturing and maintenance (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing: 52 awards; All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance: 30 awards), commercial machinery repair (28 awards), ready-mix concrete manufacturing (26 awards), and trade contracting (19 awards). PSC coding follows: Miscellaneous Vehicular Components (50 awards), Miscellaneous Construction Materials (36 awards), Maintenance and Repair of Equipment—Vehicular Equipment Components (24 awards), Commercial Hardware (18 awards), and Equipment Lease or Rental—Motor Vehicles (16 awards). The vendor's entire addressable market sits within military installations in Japan and the Pacific theater, with zero recorded work in the continental United States or civilian agencies; geographic performance is exclusively Japan-based, supporting CLB (Cambodian Logistics Base) and installations at Camp Hansen, Camp Butler, Kinser, Kadena, and other Okinawa and Pacific locations.
