The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is seeking procurement of infield dirt supply and installation services for two softball fields (Field A and Field B) at Misawa Air Base, Japan, under Pre-Solicitation Notice FA520526QB043. The project encompasses excavation, drainage implementation, new soil delivery, compaction, leveling, old soil removal and disposal, and site cleanup at the Child Youth Programs facilities. Key requirements include contractor management and supervision of all labor, equipment, and materials; compliance with Japanese and federal regulations; coordination with the 35th Civil Engineer Squadron; completion of a pre-installation meeting with multiple Air Force squadrons; and post-installation inspection to verify operational readiness and safety. Evaluation will follow FAR 13.106-2 best value procedures, with technical proposals rated as either Acceptable or Unacceptable based on conformance to solicitation and Statement of Work requirements, followed by price evaluation of all technically acceptable offers ranked from lowest to highest with price reasonableness analysis. The response deadline for this Pre-Solicitation Notice is March 30, 2026, with delivery required no later than 30 days after award to 35 FSS/SE at Misawa Air Base.

This opportunity has not been designated with any set-aside provisions. No incumbent contractor or current contract information has been identified in the available documentation. The solicitation comprises two line items priced on a lump-sum basis: Item 0001 for infield dirt supply and Item 0002 for removal and installation of the new dirt, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the Pre-Solicitation Notice. A critical requirement is that all construction materials must be manufactured in Japan per the Balance of Payments Program exemption requirement (DFARS 225.7501), meaning responses offering non-Japan-manufactured materials will not be considered for award. Offerors must be registered in the SAM database, maintain current and accurate information annually, and provide complete quotes or risk being deemed nonresponsive. Contractor personnel must obtain base access credentials, comply with security protocols including Level I antiterrorism awareness training within 30 days, and maintain minimum Japanese automobile insurance coverage of YEN3,000,000 for property damage and YEN30,000,000 for bodily injury.
