Contractors must have at least three years of experience in construction and network cabling installation, possess valid telecommunications and construction business licenses for work in Japan, and provide comprehensive plans for hazardous material disposal and asbestos removal.

This procurement is classified under NAICS code 238210 with a small business size standard of $19.0 million, though no specific set-aside designation is indicated in the primary solicitation notice. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the available documentation. While no specific contract value is disclosed, the project's scope suggests a substantial investment given the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure upgrade, including high-value equipment such as dual UPS systems rated at 100KVA each and multiple CRAC units.
