How to bid on OSI Furniture at Yokota AB, Japan for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense is seeking information about vendors who can supply office furniture for the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) at Yokota Air Base in Japan. This includes not only the furniture itself but also delivery, transportation, assembly, installation, and any necessary materials or equipment.
While this is currently an unfunded Request for Information (RFI) and not a direct solicitation, it's an opportunity for vendors to show their capabilities for a potential future firm-fixed price supply contract. If funded, an award is anticipated around September 30, 2026.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on July 29, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 12, 2026, at 11:00 PM ET. At this time, the agency will stop accepting information from vendors.
It is important to submit your response before the deadline. Since this is an RFI, the agency is gathering information to help shape a potential future solicitation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that specialize in office furniture supply and installation. Crucially, the work will be performed entirely in Japan, so the successful vendor must possess valid licenses to operate and work within Japan.
Vendors with experience in international logistics and on-site installation services for government or military facilities, particularly in Japan, would be well-suited for this potential requirement.

Emphasize your ability to perform work in Japan, including details about your valid Japanese work licenses. Clearly outline your logistical capabilities for delivery, transportation, building, and installation of furniture at Yokota Air Base. Detail any specific equipment or materials you would use to ensure a complete and successful delivery and installation.
