The Fukuoka Oxygen Mfg. Co.. Ltd.

The Fukuoka Oxygen Mfg. Co., Ltd., a Japan-based for-profit industrial gas manufacturer headquartered in Sasebo, Nagasaki, supplies compressed and liquefied gases, medical gas delivery systems, equipment repair, and specialized components to U.S. Department of Defense medical and naval installations in Japan entirely as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under full-and-open procurement with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates as an international organization competing on firm fixed-price purchase orders and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement.

The vendor's footprint is dominated by a single transformational award: the Defense Health Agency awarded a $276.9 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement on September 1, 2025, establishing a medical gas supply framework for U.S. military healthcare facilities in Japan through August 31, 2030. This agreement anchors 100% of the vendor's combined potential value across all awards and positions the Fukuoka Oxygen as the primary supplier for medical gas requirements at Defense Health Agency installations, particularly Naval Base Sasebo and other forward-deployed military medical facilities. Prior to this agreement, the vendor's transactional footprint consisted of small firm fixed-price purchase orders for medical gases, equipment, and maintenance services across multiple Navy commands.

Customer concentration skews heavily to Department of Defense agencies in Japan. The top five customer entities by award count represent 78% of recent awards, driven by the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (23 awards, $73 thousand combined potential value across traditional purchase orders), Naval Sea Systems Command (17 awards, $251 thousand), Navy Installations Command (10 awards, $103 thousand), and Naval Supply Systems Command (9 awards, $30 thousand). The potential-value ranking diverges sharply: the Defense Health Agency's single $276.9 million BPA dwarfs all other customers, which collectively hold $251 thousand to $103 thousand in smaller purchase orders. The vendor's top parent vehicle is an Indefinite Delivery Contract (N6824699A0031) with 10 task orders valued at $7 thousand combined.

Recent work includes a $27.3 thousand Naval Sea Systems Command purchase order for six 20-foot CONEX boxes (March 2026), a $23.1 thousand NAVSEA water jet cutting machine repair (February 2025), a $2.1 thousand Defense Logistics Agency Energy order for laboratory equipment at OCONUS fuel laboratories including Guantanamo Bay, Diego Garcia, and sites in Germany, Korea, and Spain (January 2025), and recurring medical gas delivery and dental equipment maintenance orders at Sasebo Branch Health Clinic through the Defense Health Agency. The vendor's top NAICS categories are Industrial Gas Manufacturing (20 awards) and Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring (11 awards); top PSCs are Gases: Compressed and Liquefied (27 awards) and Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Instruments and Laboratory Equipment (14 awards).

Activity has been sparse and episodic: three awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in early 2026. Award velocity and dollar obligation (only $691 thousand obligated across 83 awards) reflect transactional purchase-order patterns rather than sustained program execution, with the September 2025 BPA marking a structural shift toward ongoing medical gas supply services in Japan.
