This document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Italy for one Mild Hybrid Sport Utility Vehicle. The RFQ is structured to include Standard Form SF-18, basic information and technical specifications, late quotation rules, and FAR/DOSAR clauses. The Embassy plans to award a Purchase Order and encourages competitive quotations while cautioning against collusion with other potential offerors.

Key details include a submission deadline of September 17, 2025 at 12:00 noon local time, with completed packages to be submitted to the address in Block 5a of the SF-18. Potential offerors are strongly advised to register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at https://www.sam.gov prior to submitting their offer, as failure to register may result in the proposal being deemed non-responsible. Oral quotations will not be accepted, and the Embassy retains the right to cancel the RFQ or any part of it.
