This document is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Italy, seeking 2 Full Electric Utility Vehicles. The solicitation invites prospective contractors to submit a competitive quotation by September 17, 2025, at 12:00 noon local time. The Embassy plans to award a Purchase Order and requires offerors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submitting their proposal.

The RFQ includes several required sections: Standard Form SF-18, basic information and technical specifications, late quotation rules, and FAR/DOSAR clauses. Offerors are cautioned against collusion and advised that the Embassy is not committed to making an award. Interested vendors must carefully review the RFQ, complete the RFQ package, and submit it to the address specified in Block 5a of the SF-18. Failure to register in SAM may result in the proposal being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for further consideration.
