Japan American Sports Officials Association

Japan American Sports Officials Association is a non-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) located in Jackson, Tennessee, specializing in providing athletic officiating services. The organization primarily serves the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) by supplying professional sports officials for athletic programs at U.S. military-dependent schools in mainland Japan, with a specific focus on Kinnick High School located at U.S. Fleet Activities Yokosuka. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the association has established itself as a critical vendor for maintaining high-quality athletic programs for children of U.S. military personnel stationed in the Pacific region.

The organization exclusively provides sports officiating services through federal contract awards, with all of its known contracts being competitively awarded Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts without any set-aside designations. These contracts have covered a wide range of athletic services including officiating for football, volleyball, baseball, and other seasonal sports events. The Japan American Sports Officials Association has consistently worked with the DoDEA to support athletic programs, with contract values ranging from approximately $6,500 to $53,000 per individual BPA call. Each contract has been focused on providing professional officiating services for specific sporting events and seasons at Kinnick High School, ensuring professional management and oversight of student athletic competitions.

The organization holds a significant single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $5,000,000, which was awarded by the Department of Defense Education Activity on August 31, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2031. This long-term BPA covers sports officiating services for the entire DoDEA Pacific athletic program in mainland Japan, demonstrating the organization's strategic importance in supporting educational athletics for U.S. military dependents. Under this BPA, multiple task orders have been issued with varying ceiling values, all maintaining a consistent focus on providing high-quality athletic officiating services across different sports and seasons. The BPA's extensive duration and substantial value indicate a stable, long-term partnership between the Japan American Sports Officials Association and the DoDEA in supporting military-dependent educational athletic programs.
