Sekita, Ritsuko

Sekita, Ritsuko, a sole proprietorship based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan, provides specialized liturgical and recreational music direction and piano tuning services to U.S. Navy installations in Japan, exclusively as a prime contractor on small, full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations. The vendor operates at a micro scale — 49 awards over two decades, $204 thousand in combined potential value, and a recent award tempo of one to three orders annually — concentrated entirely within Navy Installations Command facilities, principally Naval Air Facility Atsugi Chapel.

Sekita's federal footprint is narrow and stable. The Navy Installations Command accounts for 48 of 49 awards (100% of combined potential value at $204 thousand), with a single award from Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Performance location is confined to Japan; all work occurs at Navy facilities supporting U.S. personnel stationed abroad. The capability portfolio is granular: Protestant professional music direction (the recurring anchor service, including liturgical direction and "Finally Friday" music programming), piano tuning for chapel instruments, and general music performance for Navy events. Recent representative awards include a $6,700.28 firm fixed-price purchase order for non-personal services as Protestant music director at NAF Atsugi Chapel running through January 2027, a $332 piano tuning services order awarded December 2025 (ultimate completion April 2026), a $7,040.31 Protestant music director order from February 2025 (completed January 2026), and a $2,974.92 order for professional music director services awarded April 2024. Individual order values range from $332 to $7,040, with no orders carrying set-aside provisions.

Activity has remained flat across the past five years — two awards in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in early 2026. One award (combined potential value $7 thousand) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor operates no subcontract portfolio and does not serve as a sub to other primes. Sekita is not affiliated with any government-wide vehicles, IDIQs, BPAs, or multi-agency contract schedules; each award is a discrete purchase order from Navy Installations Command. NAICS concentration reflects the service mix: Other Personal and Household Goods Repair and Maintenance (18 awards), All Other Personal Services (11 awards), and Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (10 awards). The PSC footprint is split between Social-Chaplain (24 awards) and Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment – Musical Inst/Phonograph/Home Radio (15 awards).
