Indefinite Delivery Contracts for Architect-Engineer Services to Support Host Nation projects, various locations, Japan

This contract, issued under the Brooks Architect-Engineer Act and FAR Part 36, establishes an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) mechanism to procure architectural and engineering services in support of U.S. military construction programs in Japan funded through non-MILCON appropriations. The total aggregate ceiling for all awards under this solicitation is $49 million, with the government targeting the award of ten to fifteen IDCs to firms selected based on demonstrated technical competence through their Standard Form 330 submissions. The period of performance spans five years from the date of contract award, during which task orders valued between $2,500 and $500,000 will be issued on a firm-fixed-price basis. Selection of firms for each task order will be determined by the relevance and strength of their qualifications as reflected in their most recent SF330, with the government reserving the right to request updated qualification data prior to issuing each request for proposal. The contract does not use any socio-economic set-asides and is open to full and open competition, with no small business preferences or size status certifications required. Performance will occur across multiple locations throughout Japan, with primary administrative oversight based in Zama-shi, Kanagawa, and the contracting office located in APO, AP. Offerors must submit proposals electronically via email or DoD SAFE by the deadline of May 28, 2026, with a strict 120-page limit on SF330 Part I, while SF330 Part II, SAM registration, CPARS reports, and past performance questionnaires are excluded from the page count. Each firm must designate two qualified individuals per required engineering and architecture discipline—such as architect, civil engineer, structural engineer, and fire protection engineer—each holding the appropriate Japanese licensure or U.S. professional registration. Additionally, the prime contractor must maintain active SAM registration with a valid JCAGE code, possess a Japanese physical address matching SF330 information, and hold CMMC Level 1 certification, which must be sustained throughout the contract term. Evaluation will be based on five non-cost factors—quality of technical deliverables, schedule adherence, customer satisfaction, management and personnel capability, and cost/financial performance—each assessed using adjectival ratings (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory) without numerical weighting, indicating a trade-off approach to award determination.
