How to bid on FY2026 - FY2027 Projections for the Dept of the Army
What the Army Corps of Engineers is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Japan District, is providing an informational notice about projected construction projects for fiscal years 2026-2027. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not guarantee any future solicitations or awards. It is an opportunity for businesses to see upcoming work and prepare.
The projects will be for local sources in Japan and will require specific Japanese construction licenses. All contractors must also be registered in SAM.gov and comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 or higher.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This informational notice was published on April 06, 2026. The deadline for submitting comments or concerns regarding these projections for government acquisition planning is September 30, 2026, at 10:59 AM ET. This is not a bid submission deadline, but rather a cutoff for industry input on the projections.
After this deadline, the agency will continue its acquisition planning. Individual project solicitations will be issued separately on SAM.gov, so vendors should monitor that site for specific bidding opportunities.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is exclusively for businesses physically located and licensed to operate in Japan. Prospective offerors must be duly authorized to conduct construction business in Japan and comply with all Japanese laws and regulations.
Firms must possess either a Japanese civil construction (oku isshiki koji) license or a Japanese architectural construction (kenchiku isshiki koji) license by the proposal or bid due date. Additionally, all interested companies, including joint ventures, must be registered in SAM.gov and meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 or higher requirements.

Industry may submit any comments or concerns regarding these projections to the points of contact identified in the attached files for consideration in the Government’s acquisition planning. This is not a solicitation for offers, but an invitation for feedback on future plans.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Since this is an informational notice, your immediate focus should be on understanding the projected work and ensuring your firm meets the stated eligibility requirements. Verify that your Japanese construction licenses are current and accurately reflected on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) website.
If you are not already, register your company in SAM.gov and begin the process for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 or higher. The agency anticipates all solicitations issued on or after November 10, 2025, will require this certification. Failure to comply will make your company ineligible for contract awards.
