Telecommunication service

The U.S. Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) established a Basic Ordering Agreement with Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company, a subsidiary of KDDI Corporation based in Naha, Okinawa, to provide recurring monthly telecommunications services in Japan. The contract, awarded on October 1, 2018, carries a ceiling value of $0.00 on the Basic Ordering Agreement itself, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028. Under this IDV, PACAF has issued numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $10,224 to $292,964 per order, with typical monthly orders ranging between $26,000 and $65,000. The services performed are located in Japan and support U.S. Air Force operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region, serving as a critical communications infrastructure provider for military installations. No set-aside designation was utilized for this single-award contract, indicating procurement through open competition. Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company operates as the prime contractor with no identified subcontractors on the available contract records.

The telecommunications services delivered under this agreement include express incident reporting capabilities and monthly recurring service provision, with specific emphasis on supporting the Combat Support Automation Systems (CSAS) program. The most recent delivery orders, issued between January 2025 and December 2025, continue this pattern of monthly telecommunications support valued between approximately $10,224 and $54,680 per order. All delivery orders share the common ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028, and maintain the firm-fixed-price pricing structure with no set-aside designations. These recurring contracts demonstrate Okinawa Cellular Telephone Company's established role as an indispensable communications partner for PACAF, providing essential telecommunications infrastructure that enables reliable communications and incident reporting for U.S. military operations and automated systems across Japan and the broader Pacific theater. The consistency of monthly awards since at least 2021 reflects the sustained and critical nature of these telecommunications services to military operations in the region.
