The U.S. Embassy Tokyo, representing the Department of State, has issued solicitation 19JA8026Q0013 for the America250 Marketing and Communications Strategy, Creative Development, and Campaign Execution Support Services. This requirement supports the Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Minato-ku, Japan, and falls under NAICS 541890, Other Services Related to Advertising, and PSC R708, SUPPORT- MANAGEMENT: PUBLIC RELATIONS. The government intends to award a purchase order to the responsible vendor submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quote. While the embassy plans to award based on initial submissions without discussions, it reserves the right to hold discussions with companies in the competitive range if necessary.

Responses must be submitted electronically to Ayaka Ogawara by the deadline of February 25, 2026. The submission process requires that email attachments do not exceed 15MB, with larger files sent in separate messages, followed by a confirmation call or email to the point of contact. All interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to contract award. There is no set-aside designation (NONE) for this opportunity, and the government is not planning a pre-quotation conference for the project.

The solicitation documentation includes three attachments: the initial Request for Quotations (RFQ) cover letter and statement of work posted on January 27, 2026, followed by Amendment 0001 containing questions and answers posted on February 6, 2026, and Amendment 0002 (SF-30) posted on February 20, 2026. Christopher G. Staff serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement. All work is to be performed in Japan.
