Indefinite Delivery Contract 19BB2122D0001

The Department of State Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs has awarded a series of firm fixed price delivery order contracts to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, a for-profit foreign contractor, to provide cellphone services in Barbados. These delivery orders, valued at approximately $13,500 to $14,700 each, were issued against an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle held by the prime contractor. The delivery orders facilitate the provision of mobile communications support to enable the Department of State's diplomatic and foreign assistance operations in Barbados and surrounding regions under the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs' mandate. No set-aside designations were used for these awards to the foreign contractor. The period of performance for the individual delivery orders ranges from approximately 1-4 months, suggesting the Department is leveraging the ID/IQ contract to rapidly procure cellphone services as needed to support its ongoing programs and activities in the region.

Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees is a generic entity identifier used by the prime contractor to conduct business with the U.S. federal government through multiple contract vehicles, including IDCs and BPAs, as well as grants. The company has delivered a variety of goods and services to government agencies such as the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Veterans Affairs, both as a prime and subcontractor, with a focus on international operations and foreign assistance programs. The cellphone service delivery orders awarded by the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs represent a specific task order issued under an existing ID/IQ contract to meet the Department's short-term communications needs in Barbados.
