Guam - Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific has cancelled the Mamizu Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) and the Apra Harbor Medical Clinic solicitations that were to be funded by the Government of Japan (GoJ). The cancellations are a result of restrictions contained in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act that prohibited the Navy from obligating GoJ funds until certain conditions are met.

According to NavFac Marianas, the Mamizu MACC for GoJ funded projects for sites in Guam was set to expire March 20. The MACC included two seed projects: Waterfront Headquarters Operations Building and Finegayan Utilities and Site Improvements - Phase 2. A stand alone solicitation for the Apra Harbor Medical Clinic, Naval Base Guam was set to expire in July.

"The Navy values its partnership with Guam, Japan, and industry and appreciates their continued support of the Guam military realignment," said Joseph Ludovici, director of the Joint Guam Program Office. "We will continue to evaluate the requirements for and timing of these projects so that we responsibly spend Japanese funds."

Both Japan and the United States have begun discussions on potential adjustments to the Guam military Realignment Roadmap agreement.
