Takehara Shoko Co.,Ltd

Takehara Shoko Co., Ltd., a Japan-based for-profit corporate entity, manufactures and supplies laundry equipment to the U.S. Army Sustainment Command as a prime contractor through firm fixed-price purchase orders, with all thirteen prime awards concentrated on the Army's Sagami General Depot operations in Japan and no subcontract work or participation on government-wide vehicles.

The vendor operates exclusively in the full-and-open competitive space with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. Its capability portfolio consists of commercial laundry equipment manufacturing and supply — flatwork folders, ironer machines, pillow case folders, single-body press laundry equipment, aqua dryers, conveyors with storage racks, wrapping machines, and point-of-sale registers — all delivered and installed in support of U.S. military logistics operations at the Sagami General Depot. Recent representative work includes a $327,156 firm fixed-price purchase order (awarded September 2023, completed January 2024) for flatwork folder and ironer equipment; an $89,103 purchase order (awarded January 2024) for mixed laundry equipment including aqua dryers and point-of-sale registers; and a $50,052 purchase order (awarded June 2026) for a wrapping machine, with ultimate completion scheduled for November 2026.

Customer concentration is absolute. All thirteen awards span the period from 2016 through June 2026 and derive from a single customer agency: the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command. Combined potential value totals $1.1 million, with $1.1 million fully obligated. The vendor holds no seats on GWACs, multiple-award contracts, or agency-wide IDIQs; each award is a discrete purchase order.

Activity remains sporadic and low-volume. The vendor received three awards in 2019, then two in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2026, indicating an episodic pattern tied to Sagami General Depot equipment refresh cycles rather than continuous operational support. Two awards carrying a combined potential value of $77 thousand face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore expose the vendor to recompete in that window. The vendor's federal footprint reflects a specialized, geographically constrained supplier role with no diversification across agencies, vehicle types, or customer commands.
