About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for RFP No. FA520926R0003, Commercial Trucking Solution Contract 2.0, dated June 16, 2026. The document provides government clarifications on pricing submission requirements across multiple service categories and contains corrections to pricing exhibits.
Key clarifications address dangerous/hazardous/sensitive freight transportation, material handling equipment (MHE), and ferry services. For ferry routes where commercially available operators cannot transport hazardous materials (such as the Motobu-Iejima route in Okinawa), offerors may base GX40 hazardous material surcharge pricing solely on routes where such transportation is available. Offerors participating only in Okinawa General Truck services must submit pricing for the GX05 item if capable of transporting hazardous materials, but GX40 submission is not required if that route lacks hazardous transport capability. For MHE, partial bidding within forklift categories is prohibited; offerors must submit prices for all listed forklift items or indicate unavailability for specific regions by leaving regional surcharge fields blank. Equipment configurations must remain consistent across all regions; mixed configurations (such as cranes-only for Honshu and forklifts plus cranes for Okinawa) are not permitted. However, offerors may propose for mainland Japan only, Okinawa only, or both regions using a single configuration. MHE use on Iejima is not contemplated. Partial bidding is permitted for dangerous/hazardous/sensitive freight transportation, allowing offerors to bid on only specific categories (Dangerous, Hazardous, or Sensitive) aligned with their service capabilities. The document also identifies typographical errors in pricing exhibits (Exhibits A, B, D, E, F, G, and H) regarding formula descriptions and surcharge rates, clarifying that offerors must submit pricing using Pricing Exhibit Version 2 from Amendment 0001 without modifications, as the errors have no impact on pricing methodology or formulas.

# Target of Question
Reference Question by Offerors Gov’t Response/Clarification
1 General Truck & Ferry
TE-A & G
Pricing
Exhibit G
(GA05)
Due to ferry operator regulations, Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight transportation is not permitted for the Motobu-Iejima route. How should we enter the GX40 accessorial surcharges for this specific route?
沖縄のフェリー輸送の固定ルート(本部港ー伊江島)について、フェリー会
社の規定等により、危険貨物系の輸送ができない。GA40の危険貨物輸送の割
増はどのように記載すべきか。
The Government does not currently anticipate the transportation of Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight to Iejima. Therefore, Offerors may base their GX40 accessorial surcharge pricing solely on the Honshu requirements. Please note that if you participate only in the Okinawa General Truck Family and are able to transport hazardous materials, entering Okinawa Ferry item "GX05" is mandatory, while entering item "GX40" (which is not transportable) is not required.
政府は現在、伊江島への危険貨物等の輸送を想定していない。したがって、提案者はGX40割増料金
の設定を本州の要件のみに基づいて算定して差し支えない。なお、沖縄の一般トラックファミリーに
のみ参加している場合で、危険物輸送のについても輸送可能な場合、沖縄フェリーのアイテム「GX0
5」の入力は必須となるが、輸送不可能であるアイテム「GX40」の入力は不要である。
QUESTION AND ANSWER ver.2 Date: 16 June 2026
In the event of any discrepancy in interpretation between the two language versions, the English version shall prevail 2つの言語バージョンの間で解釈に相違が生じた場合、英語版が優先されるものとする
RFP No. FA520926R0003
Ferry2
Commercial Trucking Solution Contract 2.0.
In the event that no commercially available ferry operators capable of transporting Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight exist on a designated route, Offerors are not required to contemplate such transportation for that specific route. Consequently, the GX40 surcharge may be calculated based only on routes for which a commercially available ferry operator with the capability to transport Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight is currently in service and available for use.
However, if a commercially available ferry operator capable of transporting Dangerous/Hazardous/ Sensitive freight was available on a designated route at the time of proposal submission, but the Offeror excluded it from its assumptions, the Contractor shall be responsible for fulfilling the transportation requirement at their proposed GX40 surcharge rate.
指定された航路において、危険系貨物を輸送可能な一般商業利用フェリー事業者が存在しない場合、
提案者は当該特定航路における危険系貨物を輸送を想定する必要はない。したがって、GX40割増料
金は、危険系貨物の輸送能力を有するフェリー運送事業者が現に就航している航路(輸送可能なルー
ト)に基づいて算定して問題ない。
ただし、提案提出時点において、当該航路に危険系貨物を輸送可能なフェリー運送事業者が実際に存
在していたにもかかわらず、想定から除外していた場合は、契約業者が当該航路に対して提案したG X40割増料金の範囲で輸送を履行する責任を負うものとする。
Regarding the zone-to-zone ferry transportation routes, while the transport of general freight is not an issue, we understand that there are certain routes that the transport of Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight is not possible due to ferry operator regulations. How should the surcharges for GX40 Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive freight transport be entered?
フェリー輸送の固定ルートについて、一般貨物輸送は問題ないが、フェリー
会社の規定等により、弾薬等の危険系貨物の輸送ができないルートがあると
認識している。GX40の危険貨物輸送の割増はどのように記載すべきか。

TE-F
Pricing Exhibit
F
Regarding MHE, is it permissible to submit a proposal for only select items within the forklift category, rather than bidding on all listed items?
MHEに関し、フォークリフトの一部アイテムのみへの入札は可能か。
Partial bidding for select items within the forklift category is not permitted. Offerors shall submit a price proposal for all items listed under the forklift category. On the other hand, if an Offeror is unable to provide services or equipment in a specific region (e.g., Okinawa or Hokkaido), they may leave the corresponding regional surcharge field blank. Doing so will be construed by the Government as an indication that the services/equipment are not available for that specific region.
フォークリフトカテゴリ内の特定アイテムに対する部分入札は認められない(例:FX01Aのみの入札
など)。提案者は、フォークリフトカテゴリ内にリストされている全アイテムに価格提案する必要が
ある。ただし、提案者が北海道および沖縄に限りサービスや機材を提供できない場合は、該当する地
域割増料金(例:北海道割増「FX50」、沖縄割増「FX51」)を空欄にすることで、当該地域における
対応は不可という意思表示とすることはできる。
Proposals based on different equipment configurations by region are not permitted (e.g., crane-only for mainland Japan and both forklifts and cranes for Okinawa). Due to the structure of the pricing exhibit, different equipment configurations cannot be accommodated by region. Therefore, offerors must apply a single, consistent equipment configuration across all regions for which they submit a proposal. The following proposal scenarios are permitted:
1. Proposal for both mainland Japan and Okinawa Offerors shall select one of the following equipment configurations and apply it consistently to both regions:
(1) "Forklifts Only" for both regions;
(2) "Cranes Only" for both regions; or
(3) "Both Forklifts and Cranes" for both regions.
2. Proposal for mainland Japan only Offerors shall enter prices for the applicable MHE items and leave the Okinawa Uplift (FX51) blank. Leaving the Okinawa Uplift blank will be interpreted as an indication that the offeror is not proposing for Okinawa.
3. Proposal for Okinawa only Since the pricing exhibit is not designed to accommodate proposals exclusively for Okinawa, the following exception procedure shall apply:
(1) Enter Okinawa pricing in the applicable fields FX01, FX02, FX05, and FX06; and
(2) Enter "0%" for the Okinawa Uplift (FX51).
An entry of "0%" for the Okinawa Uplift factor will be interpreted as an indication that the offeror is proposing for Okinawa only.
地域ごとに異なる機材構成による提案(例:本州はクレーンのみ、沖縄:フォークリフトとクレーン
の両方)は認められない。価格表の構造上、地域別に異なる機材構成を処理できないため、提案する
すべての地域において、同一の機材構成を適用する必要がある。提案可能なパターンは、以下のいず
れかとなる。
【1.本州および沖縄の両地域に提案する場合】
(1)両地域とも「フォークリフトのみ」
(2)両地域とも「クレーンのみ」
(3)両地域とも「フォークリフトおよびクレーンの両方」
【2.本州のみに提案する場合】
MHE対象項目に価格を入力し、沖縄アップリフト(FX51)は空欄のままとする。沖縄アップリフトを
空欄とすることで、沖縄地域へは提案しない意思表示として取り扱う。
【3.沖縄のみに提案する場合】
価格表は「沖縄のみ」の提案に対応していないため、例外的な入力方法を適用する。
(1)FX01、FX02、FX05、FX06の該当欄には、沖縄向けの価格を入力する。
(2)沖縄アップリフト(FX51)には「0%」と入力する。
なお、沖縄アップリフト(FX51)への「0%」の入力は、「沖縄のみへ提案する意思表示として取り
扱う。
Regarding MHE, is it permissible to submit a partial bid based on region and equipment type? For example, can we bid on only Cranes for Honshu, and bid on both Forklifts and Cranes for Okinawa?
MHEに関し、例えば、本州はクレーンのみ、沖縄はフォークリフトとクレー
ンの両方といった地域に基づいた機材の混在構成での入札は可能か。

Regarding MHE in Okinawa, is usage on Iejima contemplated or anticipated under this contract?
沖縄におけるMHEに関し、伊江島での使用は想定されているか。
The use of MHE on Iejima is not contemplated under this contract. Therefore, Offerors do not need to consider Iejima when establishing their proposed prices for MHE operations in Okinawa.
本契約において伊江島でのMHEの使用は想定されない。したがって、提案者は沖縄におけるMHEの価
格設定にあたり、伊江島での運用を考慮する必要はない。

Sensitive freight
Pricing Exhibits
A, D, G, H
Regarding Dangerous/hazardous/sensitive freight transportation, is it permissible to submit a proposal for only select categories of items (e.g., bidding only on "Dangerous "or only on "Sensitive" items), rather than bidding on all listed categories?
危険系貨物の輸送に関し、リストされているすべてのカテゴリに入札するの
ではなく、一部のカテゴリのアイテムのみ(例:DangerousのみまたはSensitiv eのみなど)に限定して提案・入札をすることは可能か。
For the three surcharge items related to the transportation of Dangerous/Hazardous/Sensitive items, partial bidding is permitted. Offerors are not required to submit proposals for all listed categories. It is acceptable to submit a price proposal limited only to specific categories that align with your service capabilities, such as bidding only on "Dangerous", only on "Hazardous" or only on "Sensitive" items.
危険系貨物の輸送割増の3アイテムに関しては、一部のアイテムのみに限定した部分入札(価格提案
)が可能である。提案者は、必ずしもすべてのカテゴリに入札する必要はなく、例えば「Dangerous 」のみ、「Hazardous」のみ、「Sensitive」のみといった、自社が提供可能な特定のアイテムに絞って
価格を提案することができる。
