The project will include construction of a vehicle maintenance facility with maintenance bays, supply and support warehouse, organizational vehicle parking, unit storage, oil storage building, special foundations, intrusion detection systems, energy monitoring and control systems, and integrated fire protection systems. The evaluation criteria for the eventual formal solicitation will employ a lowest priced, technically acceptable approach. Responses to the market survey must be submitted no later than 2:00 P.M. Japan Standard Time on March 17, 2026, and only local sources—entities physically located in Japan and licensed and registered to conduct construction business in Japan—are eligible to respond and participate in the subsequent solicitation.
No set-aside designations are being used for this procurement. The estimated project value ranges between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000, with an estimated period of performance of 1095 calendar days. The formal Request for Proposal is anticipated in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2027. Current respondents to the market survey are being asked to provide information on their capabilities, experience with comparable projects completed within the past six years, comments on the draft plans and specifications, confirmation of their physical location and licensing in Japan, and input on contract structure and pricing methodology for the civil works site development effort involving approximately 63,000 cubic meters of cut and 48,000 cubic meters of fill. Interested firms may respond as either prime contractors or subcontractors, provided they meet the local source requirements and are registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. All prospective offerors must comply with applicable Japanese laws and possess necessary construction licenses verified through Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism.
