This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirements, scope, responsibilities, and deliverables for the replacement and disposal of the 150kVA emergency power diesel generator located on Camp Zama Japan Building 121. This is a solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. The written solicitation, issued as SF1449 (Form), is attached to this notice and constitutes the official solicitation. Quotes are being requested in accordance with the instructions herein and within the attached SF1449. The statements required by FAR 12.202(b)(1) are included in the uploaded documents.

Description of Services: The contractor shall provide all necessary labor, management, tools, equipment, transportation, and materials to perform the decommissioning, removal, disposal, and replacement of the existing 150kVA emergency power diesel generator at Building 121, Camp Zama, Japan. The primary objective is to safely disconnect and dispose of the existing unserviceable generator (Toyo Denki Seizo / TYND-215) and install a brand new 150 kVA / 120 kW diesel generator (208/120 VAC, 50 Hz). The new system must be fully integrated and compatible with the existing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in Panel P-M/L-M. The project includes full testing, an 8-hour load test, commissioning, and training. All disposal of the old generator and hazardous materials must comply with Japanese environmental regulations utilizing off-base facilities. A minimum 2-year warranty is required for the new generator system. The contractor is required to provide employees who have demonstrated experience in work like this requirement. The contractor or their sub-contractors shall ensure their employees have the following current and valid professional certifications for the entire life of this contract: Special Electric Officer's License (for Emergency Power Generators) ([…] - […]) Chief Electrical Engineer (Licensed Class I, II, or III) ([…]) Fire Defense Equipment Officer ([…]) Low-Voltage Electrical Worker Special Education ([…]) Failure to submit verifiable evidence of these qualifications and certifications at the time of quote submission may result in the offer being evaluated as technically unacceptable. Note 1: All work for this project shall be performed exclusively in Japan. The contract price shall be inclusive of all travel and lodging expenses required for project execution. Note 2: Mandatory On-Site Warranty & Local Service Capability The project and product utilization will occur entirely within the country of Japan.

What have comparable awards been worth?
The mean ($298K) is substantially above the median ($68K) because several unusually large awards are included — the largest 10% of awards account for 59% of total observed value. The median is the better guide to a typical award.
| Count | 13 |
| Minimum | $12,008 |
| 25th percentile | $30,756 |
| Median | $68,387 |
| 75th percentile | $116,406 |
| Maximum | $2,273,302 |
| Mean | $297,848 |
| Standard deviation | $640,318 |
| Interquartile range | $85,650 |
| Coefficient of variation | 2.15 |
| Total | $3,872,029 |
Percentiles use linear interpolation — the same definition as a spreadsheet's PERCENTILE function. 0 records with a non-positive amount were excluded as administrative modifications rather than work anyone bid for.
"Award amount" is obligations recorded against the award to date — not the contract ceiling, and not outlays. Based on 13 analyzed awards.
Of the 13 awards examined in detail, 13 carried a recorded ceiling (Base and All Options Value). Its median was $68,387, against a median obligated amount of $68,387 across the same 13 awards — 1.0x. 12 of those had a ceiling equal to the obligated amount, meaning no unexercised option value.
The ceiling is what the award could reach if every priced option were exercised — it is not spending that has happened or a forecast that it will.

HHI (highly concentrated)
4,064
computed over every supplier in the 13 analyzed awards
The sum of each supplier's percentage share, squared. Every analyzed award is attributed to a supplier, so this is exact for this population. US antitrust agencies read below 1,500 as unconcentrated and 2,500+ as highly concentrated.
These are shares of the federal awards analyzed here, not commercial market share in this sector. Share of observed value and share of award count are different metrics and can differ sharply for the same supplier.

Are there recurring suppliers worth investigating as possible incumbents?
Public procurement data has no incumbent field. What follows is a pattern extracted mechanically from award records. It does not establish that any supplier currently holds this work, or that it will win the next award. Treat it as a starting point for research.

Comparable historical awards
Of the 13 awards examined in detail, 13 had a recorded set-aside status
The historical distribution is descriptive only and does not determine eligibility for this solicitation. Review the notice and SAM.gov for the eligibility and restrictions that apply, including any bearing on non-U.S. entities.
What is observed, what it may mean, and what it does not establish
A possible implication is an interpretation, not a finding. Public award data cannot establish cause.
What to verify before deciding whether to pursue this
Who performed the most recent comparable award, and what does the public record show about it?
← The most recent comparable award started 2026-06-08.
Is the same supplier repeatedly serving this contracting office, and is there evidence of an incumbent relationship?
← CHUO BUSSAN CO.,LTD. holds 2 of the analyzed comparable awards.
Are comparable requirements typically competed, or does the record show limited-source procedures?
← Of the 13 awards with a recorded competition procedure, the most common is "COMPETED UNDER SAP".
Are awards concentrated among a small number of suppliers, and are the larger awards concentrated among particular ones?
← The top five suppliers hold 94% of observed value.
How much comparable work has gone to Japan-based suppliers, and is there evidence of subcontracting or teaming?
← 9 of the 13 awards with a known supplier country went to Japan-based firms.
How many contracting offices buy this, or is it one office's recurring requirement?
← The 13 analyzed awards span 4 contracting offices.
What eligibility and registration requirements appear in this notice — SAM registration, NCAGE, export controls, installation access?
What is missing from the public record, and what should be raised with the contracting office during the question period?
How complete and reliable is the evidence?
Missingness by field
| Field | Missing | Of | Missing share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Award amount | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Award start date | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Supplier name | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Supplier UEI (identifier used to resolve entities) | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Reported offer count (of records examined in detail) | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Supplier country | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |

| Contracting office (of records examined in detail) | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
| Award description | 0 | 13 | 0.0% |
The denominator differs by field because offer count, set-aside and contracting office exist only on per-award detail records. Those rows are measured against the number of detail records fetched, not against the whole analyzed set.
What remains unknown after everything above
These are structural limits of published federal procurement data, not gaps in this analysis. Where one of them matters to a bid decision, it has to be answered outside the public record — through the solicitation's question period or your own market research.
