About this file
This document is a Contractor/Vendor Information Sheet for a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) for local guard services at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore. The Department of State is conducting market research to identify vendors capable of providing security services under NAICS code 561612, with a focus on protecting U.S. personnel, facilities, and equipment from potential threats, attacks, and unauthorized access.
The RFI includes a comprehensive 28-question questionnaire aimed at assessing vendor capabilities, including experience with local guard services in Singapore, licensing and permit requirements, personnel resources, quality control practices, and financial capacity to sustain government contract payment terms. Interested vendors must submit their responses to Kenneth P. Bailey by January 9, 2026 at 1 p.m. EST. The document seeks information from both U.S. and foreign vendors of various business sizes and socio-economic statuses, with particular interest in understanding potential challenges in licensing, recruitment, and contract performance.
