The draft Performance-Based Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for a contractor to provide officiating and scorekeeping services for the Adult Sports Program at Misawa Air Base, Japan. Key responsibilities include supplying trained officials for various sports, ensuring adherence to national sports by-laws, and compliance with safety and quality assurance standards. Contractors must maintain qualified personnel, conduct training, and ensure timely availability of officials. The PWS specifies the operational hours, cancellation policies, and security requirements, including base access protocols. The government will furnish necessary facilities and equipment for competitions while demanding a high standard of professionalism from contractor personnel. Performance thresholds include maintaining late start rates below 10% and providing timely training records. This document serves as a comprehensive guideline for potential contractors to understand the services required, expectations for performance, and operational requirements, ultimately promoting the efficient running of recreational sports programs within a military context.

The United States Air Force’s 35th Contracting Squadron at Misawa AFB, Japan, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for Sports Officiating Services for Intramural Sports. The acquisition is categorized under NAICS Code 711219, and interested parties are invited to provide feedback on the attached draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). This RFI aims to gather insights that may influence the final requirements and the decision-making process regarding future solicitations. Responses should include a capabilities package and complete the accompanying Feedback from Industry Questionnaire to assess understanding of the draft PWS and any identified concerns. The submission deadline is set for 21 January 2025 JST. Offerors should note that this is not a solicitation, and responses will not result in a binding contract. Clarity is sought on various aspects of the proposed services, including challenges faced in fulfilling the contract and anticipated contract length. Overall, this RFI represents the Government's approach to open communication with potential contractors in the early stages of the procurement process, prioritizing the identification of capable service providers.
