Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), Office of Fleet Management, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify qualified vendors for telematics installation support at private and military locations across Japan. This is not a solicitation, but aims to gauge industry capabilities. Responses are due June 17, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves the installation of telematics devices on various vehicle types, including sedans, light/medium/heavy-duty trucks, buses, and specialty vehicles. Installations will occur at government and private facilities, as well as pre-delivery at supplier-designated sites throughout Japan. Contractors will be responsible for all travel costs. This effort specifically excludes the procurement of telematics devices or telematics services themselves. Operating constraints include ensuring installations do not void OEM warranties, maintaining access to OBD ports, and waiving claims for device/ancillary item costs. Billing must align with vehicle installations.

The service will cover six distinct regions in Japan: Okinawa, Kyushu, Honshu South, Honshu Central, Honshu North, and Hokkaido (customer location TBD). Specific customer locations include various U.S. military branches and government agencies. Based on responses, GSA may decide to set aside the requirement for small businesses or proceed with full and open competition. GSA may also invite respondents for one-on-one meetings.
