SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM)
All interested companies, including joint ventures, shall be registered in the SAM database in order to be eligible for award of Government contracts. https://www.sam.gov.
 

LOCAL SOURCES / ELIGIBILITY
Contracts will be performed in its entirety in the country of Japan and is intended only for local sources, unless otherwise specified. Only local sources will be considered. Local sources are sources (e.g. corporations, partnerships, or Joint Ventures [For a Joint Venture, the Joint Venture as an independent entity must satisfy the local source requirements or, in the alternative, each member of the Joint Venture must individually satisfy the local source requirements]) that are physically located in Japan and authorized (i.e. licensed and registered) to perform construction in Japan.

Specifically, a prospective offeror must be duly authorized to operate and conduct construction business in Japan and must fully comply with all applicable laws, decrees, labor standards, and regulations of Japan during the performance of the resulting contracts.

In addition, offerors/bidders must possess a Japanese civil construction (oku isshiki koji)) license or Japanese architectural construction (kenchiku isshiki koji)) license by the proposal/bid due date and time. The U.S. Government will verify that the offeror/bidder has the license through the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) website at https://etsuran2.mlit.go.jp/TAKKEN. It is the responsibility of the offeror/bidder to ensure that it has the license (Japanese civil construction or Japanese architectural construction), and that it is accurately shown on the MLIT website, by the proposal/bid due date and time. Failure to comply with this requirement will be cause for rejection of your offer/bid.

The U.S. Government will not offer “United States Official Contractor” status under Article XIV of the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) to U.S. contractors normally resident in the United States; nor will the U.S. Government certify employees of such contractors as “Members of the Civilian Component” under Article I(b) of the SOFA.

JOINT VENTURE. In the event the bidder/offeror is a joint venture, the bid/offer must be signed by an authorized representative of each participant in the joint venture.
