The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations awarded a $83.6K firm fixed-price purchase order to Kone S.A. on April 2, 2024, for annual preventive maintenance and support services for compound elevators at the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece. The contract, which runs through April 11, 2027, requires the contractor to provide all necessary labor, transportation, equipment, tools, repair parts, supplies, and materials to perform inspection, maintenance, repair, and component replacement services in accordance with manufacturer specifications. As the official KONE distributor for Greece, Kone S.A. is uniquely positioned to service the KONE-brand elevators currently installed at the diplomatic facility. The award was made without set-aside designation, indicating open competition.
This contract supports the Department of State's mission to maintain critical infrastructure at overseas diplomatic compounds. Kone S.A., a tax-exempt corporate entity registered to receive federal contract awards since February 2019, specializes in elevator maintenance and support services for U.S. diplomatic facilities abroad. The company's recent track record includes a July 2023 purchase order for elevator support services during a facility move in Greece, demonstrating its established capability and experience with this agency and location. The firm fixed-price structure ensures cost certainty for the government while the indefinite delivery and quantity nature of the work allows flexibility to address maintenance needs throughout the three-year performance period.
