Yahata Marine, K.K.

Yahata Marine, K.K., a Japan-based for-profit maritime services company, provides crane and rigging services, material handling, port husbanding support, and equipment lease and rental services to the Department of the Navy as a prime contractor operating entirely in the Asia-Pacific region. The company does not hold SBA set-aside certifications and competes on full-and-open procurements exclusively.

Yahata Marine's federal footprint is dominated by a single vehicle: the $122 million Global Husbanding Support Services multiple-award IDIQ contract awarded by the Department of the Navy United States Pacific Fleet Forces in 2020 and running through October 2030. This vehicle anchors 96% of the vendor's combined potential value across fifteen prime awards. Recent concrete work includes a $145,090 delivery order under that IDIQ to provide husbanding services and port logistics for the USNS SACAGAWEA during a September–October 2022 port visit to Kushiro, Japan; a $96,163 purchase order from Navy Installations Command for submarine fender repair services (February 2023); and a $46,530 purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command for crane and rigging services supporting USS Rafael Peralta DDG-115 at Naval Ship Repair Facility Yokosuka (July 2026). Yahata Marine also holds a newly awarded $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement from Naval Sea Systems Command (January 2026 through January 2031) for equipment and container purchase, lease (exceeding 60 days), and rental (60 days or less) services.

The customer concentration is monolithic: the Department of the Navy accounts for all fifteen awards and all seven distinct customer agencies named in the portfolio are Navy commands. Within Navy, the United States Pacific Fleet Forces dominates both dollar rankings and recompete exposure at $122 million in combined potential value from two awards. The top five Navy customer organizations—Installations Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, United States Pacific Fleet Forces, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Naval Supply Systems Command—cover 87% of recent award count and 100% of combined potential value. The portfolio's category concentration centers on PSC codes for ship and marine equipment maintenance, repair, and rebuild (5 awards) and ship husbanding services management and integration (3 awards), with NAICS categories split between electroplating and port operations (3 awards each) and hazardous waste treatment and disposal (2 awards).

Yahata Marine operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source records zero subcontract awards. Activity remains modest—two to three awards per year in the 2021–2022 window, dropping to one award each in 2023 and 2024, then rebounding to two in 2026. Only $1.5 million of the vendor's $128.5 million combined potential value has been obligated to date (1%), reflecting the IDIQ structure and the recent award dates on most task orders and the new BPA. The Global Husbanding Support Services IDIQ faces recompete in October 2030; given that contract's $122 million ceiling and the vendor's exclusive reliance on Navy customer relationships for federal work, loss or non-renewal of that vehicle would eliminate most of the vendor's federal pipeline.
