Riuko Iwata

Riuko Iwata is a for-profit sole proprietorship based in Fussa, Tokyo, Japan, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since May 2004 with a current registration valid through May 28, 2025. The entity specializes in providing musical services for religious events, specifically focusing on Catholic and traditional service music at U.S. military installations, primarily within the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) region. While limited information is available about the specific background or additional business activities of Riuko Iwata beyond federal contracting, the vendor has consistently demonstrated expertise in supplying professional musicians for religious services at military bases.

Over the past several years, Riuko Iwata has been awarded multiple federal contract purchase orders from the Pacific Air Forces and the Department of the Air Force, exclusively focused on providing musical accompaniment for religious services at Yokota Air Base in Japan. These contracts, ranging in value from $2,047.98 to $86,890.80, involve supplying musicians for Catholic and traditional worship services, with specific responsibilities including piano or organ accompaniment, prelude and postlude music, call to worship, special music selections, and benediction responses. The contracts are structured as firm fixed-price purchase orders with completion dates typically extending to September 30 of various years. None of the contract awards have been designated with any specific set-aside status, indicating open competition. The consistent nature of these awards suggests Riuko Iwata has developed a specialized niche in providing musical services that meet the specific liturgical needs of military chaplains at U.S. Air Force installations in the Pacific region.
