Transpacific Associates Co.,Ltd

Trans Pacific Associates Co., Ltd, doing business as TPA, is a for-profit South Korean supplier based in Busan that sells specialized equipment, personal protective equipment, material handling systems, and operational support goods to U.S. military installations in the Pacific region as a prime contractor exclusively — all 445 awards in the recent portfolio are prime contracts, with no subcontract footprint. TPA competes exclusively in unrestricted, full-and-open bidding processes; no set-aside designations appear across the award record.

TPA's customer base concentrates heavily on U.S. Army commands in South Korea. The top five contracting entities account for 79% of awards by count and 77% by combined potential value, dominated by the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region (90 awards, $3.2 million combined potential value), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Expeditionary Contracting Command Regional Contracting Office Yongsan 411th CSB (52 awards, $6.5 million combined potential value), and the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Korean Region (74 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value). The Department of the Army and Department of the Army Pacific Command round out the top tier. The concentration is both deep and geographically focused — virtually all work flows from commands operating at or supplying U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys, Camp Humphreys, and related installations in South Korea.

TPA's capability portfolio spans material handling equipment (forklifts, loaders, trailers), personal protective equipment (safety shoes, masks, respirators, vests, gloves), specialized vehicles and machinery (truck-mounted cranes, aircraft refuelers, sewer trucks, generators), construction and industrial supplies (pallets, concertina wire, tools, sand), and electronics and communications equipment. Recent representative work includes a $771.9 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Army Sustainment Command (April 2023) for two 5,000-gallon and one 10,000-gallon truck aircraft refuelers; a $449.2 thousand purchase order from the Marine Corps (April 2022) for eight 3-ton and two 5-ton forklifts; a $270.7 thousand purchase order from the Department of the Army (April 2026) for CNC turning and machining centers with white-glove delivery and operator training at Camp Humphreys; and recurring PPE and tools contracts in the $25 thousand to $108 thousand range from Army regional and installation management commands. Top NAICS categories are Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (18 awards), Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing (15 awards), and Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment Manufacturing (9 awards); top PSC codes are Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies (32 awards), Chemicals (16 awards), and Trucks and Truck Tractors, Wheeled (12 awards).

TPA sits on two minor parent vehicles: a Blanket Purchase Agreement (W91QVN16A0024) with 6 task orders and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (W91QVN04D0015) with 2 task orders. Activity has remained flat at two to four awards per year across the past five years, with only one award in 2026 as of April. One award valued at $271 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. TPA has held a SAM.gov registration since 2007 and has sustained a federal supplier relationship for nearly two decades, operating as a stable logistics and equipment vendor for U.S. military operations in the Pacific region with no presence in domestic or non-Pacific markets.
