Karachi_Frere RFI CapabilityStatement Vendor Info.pdf

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. Department of State, Overseas Buildings Operations, regarding the former U.S. Consulate General's Residence and neighboring properties situated on Fatima Jinnah Road in Karachi, Pakistan.

The RFI seeks information from market participants capable of acquiring the properties through lease or purchase and utilizing them in a manner consistent with their highest and best use. The RFI outlines two potential scenarios: a complete sale of all U.S. Government property interests, or a sale with the U.S. Government retaining the former Consulate General's Residence and providing a long-term out-lease to the buyer. The RFI also notes the U.S. Government's flexibility on the rental structure and the potential use of the property, whether for-profit or non-profit purposes. Interested firms are required to submit capability statements demonstrating their expertise, financial capability, and proposed use of the property by July 3, 2024. The U.S. Government will host a virtual information session and a site visit for qualified vendors before the final written responses are due 60 days after the RFI posting.
