Ryukyu International Soccer Association

Ryukyu International Soccer Association, a veteran-owned nonprofit organization based in Chatan, Okinawa, Japan, provides soccer officiating services to the Department of Defense Education Activity and the Department of the Air Force as a prime contractor, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates across NAICS 711310 (Other Spectator Sports) and NAICS 611620 (Sports and Recreation Instruction), delivering referee and officiating personnel, scorekeeping support, and related labor for youth and adult sports programs at military installations in Okinawa and across the Air Force installation network.

The vendor's customer footprint is narrow and concentrated. Two agencies account for 96% of recent awards: the Department of Defense Education Activity (19 awards, $605 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Air Force (3 awards, $774 thousand combined potential value). All 23 awards are prime contracts; the vendor carries no subcontract work. The vendor holds three active IDIQs — an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HE125420D4001) with 7 task orders valued at $86 thousand, an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HE126014D0011) with 5 task orders valued at $57 thousand, and an Indefinite Delivery Contract (HE126012D0006) with 3 task orders valued at $35 thousand. In November 2025, the Air Force awarded a $350 thousand multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement running through November 2029 for sports officiating and scorekeeping services across adult and youth activities at Air Force installations. The vendor also holds a separate $219,246 IDC from DODEA focused on soccer officiating in Okinawa.

Representative delivery orders include a February 2026 order from DODEA for $27,792 to provide soccer officiating services in support of the Pacific South District athletics program through May 2026, an April 2025 DODEA order for $19,672 covering Okinawa soccer sports official services through July 2025, and a February 2024 DODEA order for $12,747 to provide Okinawa soccer officials for the 2023-2024 school year. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $6.4 million, with only $190 thousand obligated to date. Award volume has remained flat — one or two awards per year since 2022 — with no recompete cliff signaled in the near term. The vendor operates exclusively in the Okinawa region and across Air Force installations, with all performance conducted in Japan or at U.S. military bases worldwide, supporting youth and adult sports programs serving children and families of military personnel.
