This is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) cover letter issued by the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, dated July 2, 2026, for the procurement of three brand-new, factory-produced MY2026 or newer C-segment compact sport utility vehicles (SUVs). The vehicles must feature left-hand drive, gasoline mild-hybrid/electric-assist powertrains, automatic transmissions, all-wheel drive capability, and Euro 6.2 (Euro 6d) or higher emissions standards. The RFQ does not specify required make or model, allowing offerors flexibility in vehicle selection. The U.S. Government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible quoter submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation. Only quotations from manufacturers, manufacturer-authorized distributors/dealers, authorized resellers, or certified resellers with proof of authorization and warranty/support capability in Turkey will be considered. Award may be made on initial quotations without discussions.

The RFQ includes three delivery categories: Category 1 for vehicles not present in Turkey with delivery to a named place in Ankara; Category 2 for vehicles already in Turkey in free circulation; and Category 3 for vehicles stocked at approved Turkish sea port free-zone/bonded warehouses in Istanbul, Kocaeli, Izmir, or Mersin. Quotations are due by Thursday, July 16, 2026, by 3:00 p.m. (GMT +3 hours), submitted electronically in MS Word, MS Excel, or Adobe Acrobat PDF format with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Offerors must provide completed SF-1449 forms, pricing tables with delivery category information, offeror identity and contact details, SAM registration for local Turkish sellers or SAM.gov proof with UEI and NCAGE for foreign offerors, technical compliance statements, manufacturer datasheets, proof of manufacturer authorization, warranty details of at least three years or 100,000 kilometers, and certification of compliance with applicable federal anti-discrimination laws. No pre-quotation conference will be conducted, and questions must be submitted in writing by July 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.
