DoWEA is conducting market research via an RFI to identify qualified companies to provide school bus driver services for pre-K through grade 12 students at DoWEA Pacific East schools on Sasebo Navy Base, Japan. The scope includes daily commute, special needs and extended school year, curricular study trips, co-curricular, and long-haul/overnight travel, with passenger safety as the highest priority. Performance is expected to begin 01 August 2027, and the attached draft PWS is subject to change before solicitation. Interested firms are requested to submit a statement of interest, a capability statement of up to 3 pages, and a non-binding ROM cost estimate with price breakdown to support market research and an IGCE. This RFI is for planning only, does not obligate the Government, and only businesses with active SAM registration will be eligible for any resultant contract.
