Quick Summary
The General Services Administration (GSA), Office of Fleet Management, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice for telematics installation support in Japan. This is not a solicitation but an effort to identify capable firms. Responses are due by June 17, 2026, 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
Purpose
The GSA Office of Fleet Management seeks to identify interested parties with the resources and expertise to provide telematics installation support for GSA Fleet vehicles at private and military locations across Japan. This market research will help GSA determine the appropriate acquisition method for a future requirement.
Scope of Work
The requirement covers the installation of telematics devices only, not their procurement or ongoing telematics services. Installations will be performed on a diverse range of vehicles at various customer locations throughout Japan, including: Okinawa, Kyushu, Honshu (South, Central, North), and Hokkaido. This may involve onsite installation and potentially pre-delivery installation at supplier-designated sites.
Key Requirements
Contractors must provide onsite installation services, potentially requiring travel throughout Japan. Installations must not interfere with OEM warranties or vehicle diagnostic ports. Responsibilities include device management, installation, removal, security, inventory, and adherence to OEM guidance. GSA will not reimburse travel costs, and billing must align with vehicle installations.
