Replace Card Key Systems for Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH), Building 761 at Camp Zama (CZ)

The U.S. Government plans to award a sole-source contract to procure the Assa Abloy access control system for Unaccompanied Housing at Camp Zama, Japan, to standardize security infrastructure and eliminate costly inefficiencies from disparate systems. The procurement is essential to unify access control across all UH facilities, ensuring enhanced security and operational consistency while avoiding unnecessary duplication of expenditures that would result from competitive bidding. The anticipated award date is July 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 4, 2026, under solicitation number FA520926Q0058. This effort falls under NAICS code 561621 and is not open to competition due to the necessity of technical integration and compatibility with existing DoD systems. All work must be performed entirely in Japan, requiring the contractor to hold valid Japanese licenses and a Japanese CAGE code. The contractor is obligated to deploy only personnel certified as Lock Installation Engineers by Japan’s Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, and this certification must remain valid throughout the entire contract lifecycle. The office responsible is the Department of Defense, managed by FA5209 374 Cons Pk, with primary point of contact Hitomi Urasaki and secondary contact Keiko Osawa. The place of performance is Building 761 in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture, and all communications and compliance must adhere to Japanese regulatory and certification requirements.
