Misawa Construction Surveillance Technician (CST) Service

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking Construction Surveillance Technician (CST) Services for Misawa Air Base, Japan, to provide Information Monitoring and Protection Services during the design, build, and accreditation of Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) and other secure facilities. The contract requires six fully trained CSTs who possess Top Secret security clearance, at least three years of construction security surveillance experience, construction trade certifications, and completion of a 40-hour CST Training Course to monitor foreign national construction workers and ensure compliance with Intelligence Community Directive 705 standards. The procurement will use a best value source selection approach that equally weighs technical capability and price, with proposals evaluated on Management/Staffing Plan and Quality Assurance Plan components. Questions were due by August 28, 2025, at 0800 JST, and proposals are due by September 14, 2025, at 7:00 PM EDT to Lt. Kade Forrester. Vendors must confirm their ability to meet the anticipated onsite start date of October 16, 2025, or provide their earliest possible personnel availability date.

The solicitation was initially set aside for Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) participation with a total potential award value of $2.9 million under NAICS code 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services). The contract requires 180 days of on-site performance with CSTs working 13 hours per day, totaling 14,040 hours across the six-person team, maintaining an anticipated ratio of one CST to four foreign construction workers. Performance will take place exclusively at Misawa Air Base, Japan, with contractors responsible for their own visas, lodging, and transportation arrangements. The project is incrementally funded with FY25 funds covering the initial 60 days of CST services and anticipated FY26 funds covering the remaining 120 days. The work supports an iFortress construction project with a preliminary schedule spanning from October 2025 through April 2026, requiring strict adherence to Status of Forces Agreement requirements and military installation security protocols.
