Architect-Engineer Services to Support the Host Nation Construction Program and Japan District Internal Requirements

This Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Japan District, provides architect-engineer services to support host nation construction programs for U.S. military facilities across Japan. The contract facilitates the preparation of design criteria packages for various infrastructure improvement and facilities sustainment projects at U.S. Department of Defense installations. Specifically, the work involves developing detailed design criteria and technical specifications for construction and renovation projects that must align with both U.S. and Japanese construction standards and practices.

Recent task orders under this $49 million IDIQ contract have consistently focused on preparing basic criteria packages for specific facility improvements across multiple U.S. military bases in Japan, primarily in Okinawa. Typical task orders range from $212,000 to $386,000 and have performance periods of approximately 6-12 months. Prime contractors frequently include local Japanese firms such as Kyowa Technologies, Gushiken Architectural Engineering, Design Intel Systems, PAE Design and Facility Management, and Fujii Architects. The task orders cover diverse project types including barracks, training facilities, telecommunications infrastructure, utility upgrades, parking structures, and administrative buildings. No set-aside designations have been used, reflecting the international nature of the work and the need for specialized local expertise in meeting both U.S. military and Japanese construction requirements.
