This contract solicits Japan-wide chartered bus services under a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation in accordance with FAR Part 12, with solicitation number FA520926Q0021 and NAICS code 485510. The requirement is for a contractor to coordinate nationwide bus services through licensed Japanese operators without needing to own or directly operate vehicles, ensuring full coverage across Japan to transport U.S. Government personnel, including service members, with baggage and authorized weapons, as scheduled by Government representatives. The contractor must possess and maintain a direct "Type 1 Travel Agency" registration (Dai-Ichi Shu Ryokougyosha Touroku-Hyo) issued by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) in its own legal name, and must provide documented evidence of established partnerships with bus companies nationwide. Performance is restricted entirely to Japan, and the contract is not set aside for small businesses. The solicitation is evaluated under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with price accounting for 100% of the evaluation weight, calculated as the total proposed price across all five one-year ordering periods. Two mandatory pass/fail criteria must be met before price evaluation: valid Type 1 Travel Agency registration and demonstrated nationwide bus network capability; failure in either results in rejection. The estimated contract value ranges from $2,500 to $9,000,000 over the five-year period, with fixed-price line items and specific pricing elements including alternate driver rates, cancellation penalties, overnight charges, and reimbursable expenses governed by regional transport bureau regulations. Submit proposals electronically by June 8, 2026, at 02:00 PM JST to designated emails, with the solicitation number included in the subject line, adhering to a three-part structure: Part I containing completed SF 1449 and SAM certifications, Part II limited to 40 pages with proof of registration and partnership evidence, and Part III as a mandatory Excel file containing pricing only. Quoters must confirm receipt by phone and submit only Word, Excel, or PDF files—no zip files permitted. The contractor must comply with SAM registration requirements including NCAGE code acquisition, maintain an adequate inspection system, submit invoices through WAWF using the Invoice 2in1 format, and provide EFT information. Payments are processed via Wide Area WorkFlow
