Matsushima JASDF Base Storage Shelter

e Construction Industry Law (Law No. 100 of 1949), the Prime Contractor (or the lead entity of a joint venture) MUST hold a valid Japanese Construction License at the time of proposal submission. No Subcontracting of License: To ensure direct performance accountability and robust contract administration, the offering Prime Contractor itself (or the lead entity of a Joint Venture) must hold this license. Relying on a subcontractor's Japanese Construction License to satisfy this requirement is prohibited. Compliance: Offerors must submit proof of the Prime Contractor's license with their technical proposal. Sub-contracting a company with the license will not be permitted. Evaluation: This is a strict pass/fail threshold requirement. Proposals from prime vendors who do not hold this license or cannot demonstrate legal compliance with Japanese construction licensing laws will be determined non-compliant and excluded from evaluation. 1.
