Q18.2 Are there any existing metrics or reporting frameworks currently used by Mission Japan for similar Public Affairs initiatives?

A18.2 The Contractor is required to develop KPIs, reporting cadence, dashboard or reporting format, A/B testing recommendations, and end-of-event summary report with lessons learned.

Q18.3 What is the preferred reporting format A18.3 There is no mandated reporting format.

Q19 Events & On-Site Support

Q19.1 Will any events require in-person contractor support?

A19.1 No events are expected to require in-person Contractor support by default. However, after contract award, if in-person support is considered beneficial and both parties agree, it may be arranged with prior approval from Mission Japan. Quoters shall not include costs related to in-person support in the quotation.

Q19.2 If so, can Mission Japan provide estimated frequency and duration?

A19.2 We are unable to provide any information at this moment.

Q20 Paid Media

Q20.1 Does the scope include paid media placements, or creative asset development only?

A20.2 Mission Japan Quoters shall not include costs related to purchasing paid media in the quotation.

Q21 Reviews, Approvals & Governance

Q21.1 Please confirm the standard approval timeline for deliverables.

A21.1 The standard approval timeline for deliverables is 3 to 5 business days, depending on the nature of the content or task. All deliverables must be approved by the designated Mission Japan point of contact before being finalized.

Q21.2 Is feedback consolidated through a single Mission point of contact?

A21.2 Yes, feedback will be consolidated and communicated to the Contractor through a single Mission point of contact, who will serve as the primary liaison for all campaign-related matters. If an alternate point of contact is appointed, the Contractor will be notified in a timely manner.

Q22 Assumptions

Q22.1 Are there any known constraints or considerations (policy, approvals, timing) that bidders should factor into scope planning and pricing?

A22.1 The Contractor shall comply with the requirements in the Statement of Work and terms and conditions stated in the Request for Quotations.

Q23 There seems to be a heavy emphasis on bilingual fluidity.

Would that mean that there's an expectation of two produced asset sets (a set in Japanese, another in English)?

A23 There is a clear expectation that all key creative assets will be produced in both English and Japanese, unless otherwise directed by Mission Japan. This should be factored into your planning, resource allocation, and pricing.

For bilingual requirements, see revised paragraph 1.

Scope of Work on page 1 of the revised Statement of

Work. “All key creative assets must be produced in both English and Japanese unless otherwise directed by Mission Japan.”

Q24 Does PAS anticipate a defined number or range of campaigns during the period of performance?

A24 PAS does not anticipate a defined number or range of campaigns during the period of performance.

America250 itself constitutes a single, comprehensive campaign, and any related events or outreach activities will be conducted under this overarching campaign framework.

Q25 Are there estimated quantities or not-to-exceed expectations for key deliverables (e.g., videos, animations, static graphics, social media assets, toolkits)?

A25 At this time, there are no estimated quantities or not-to-exceed expectations specified for key deliverables.

Q26 Is the requirement intended to function as an on-call support arrangement, or should the contractor assume a predictable baseline level of recurring work?

A26 The Contractor should plan for a steady, recurring workload as defined by the campaign schedule and deliverables, while also maintaining flexibility and capacity to respond to ad hoc or urgent requests as they arise. Both elements are integral to fulfilling the requirement as described in the SOW.

Q27 What is the expected balance between strategic planning (e.g., messaging frameworks, campaign strategy) and hands-on creative production and execution?

A27 The expected balance is that the Contractor will engage in both strategic planning and hands-on creative execution throughout the campaign. Strategic planning will set the direction and framework, while ongoing creative production and execution will deliver the assets and support needed for campaign activities.

Both functions are essential and should be resourced accordingly.

Q28 Should the contractor anticipate surge support tied to major America250 milestones or events, and if so, are any such milestones currently identified?

A28 The Contractor should plan for surge support around major America250 events and milestones, even though specific dates or milestones are not identified in the

SOW.

Q31 What is the expected number of PAS review and revision cycles per deliverable?

A31 The Contractor should assume at least one formal review and revision cycle (from draft to final) but be prepared for additional cycles if needed to achieve approval.

Q32 Should associated costs be included in our firm fixed price quote for the “occasional in-country travel to event venues” referenced in SOW Section 5? If so, could Mission Japan provide any guidance on locations, number of trips, and duration of trips?

A32 No, the costs for occasional in-country travel should not be included in the quotation.

Q33 Are third-party costs (e.g., media placement, production rentals, talent, or influencers) within scope, and if so, should these be included in the quoted price?

A33 Performing requirements such as media placement, production rentals, talent, or influences are within the scope of the project. However, quoters should not include these costs in their firm fixed price quote.

Instead, after the contract award, the selected Contractor will be responsible for negotiating pricing and other terms directly with service providers. All third-party costs will be handled separately and will require prior approval by Mission Japan.

Q34 Can bidders include reasonable pricing assumptions or scope boundaries to support a firm-fixed-price quote?

A34 Quoters shall calculate their pricing based on the requirements stated in the SOW, terms and conditions of the RFQ, and Amendment(s).
