Kijima Taro

Kijima Taro, operating as Taro Kijima Division, is a sole proprietorship registered to receive federal contract awards since February 13, 2012. The entity primarily provides music director services for Protestant and Christian religious services at U.S. Navy installations in Japan, specifically at the Naval Air Facility (NAF) Atsugi. As a sole proprietorship, Kijima Taro likely represents an individual musician or musical director with expertise in religious music performance and direction, who has established a long-standing relationship with the U.S. Navy to support their chapel services overseas.

Since 2019, Kijima Taro has consistently been awarded purchase order contracts by the Navy Installations Command to provide Protestant and Spanish Christian music director services at the NAF Atsugi Chapel in Japan. These contracts have ranged in value from approximately $1,600 to $27,000, with a cumulative value exceeding $40,000 over the past five years. The most recent award, dated March 5, 2024, is for Protestant music director services with a ceiling value of $2,974.92 and a performance period until January 31, 2025. The services provided by Kijima Taro appear to be essential for maintaining religious services and support for U.S. military personnel and their families stationed at NAF Atsugi. All contracts awarded to Kijima Taro have been issued without set-aside designations, indicating that the entity competes for these opportunities in the open market. There is no indication of subcontracting or partnerships with other entities in the execution of these contracts, suggesting that Kijima Taro personally fulfills the music direction services required by the Navy.
