About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Brussels seeks audience analysis services involving focus group research with Brussels-based EU policy audiences, with quotations due September 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM and questions due September 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The procurement is unrestricted, evaluated on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, and will award a firm fixed-price purchase order to the responsible company submitting an acceptable offer.
Place of performance is Brussels, Belgium. The contract period runs September 25 through December 25, 2026. The NAICS code is 541910, Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling; PSC is R422, Support—Professional: Market Research/Public Opinion.
The scope requires a minimum of four focus groups (5–6 participants each, online and/or in-person), with at least two conducted in person in Brussels. Amendment 1 (effective September 11, 2026) mandates that remaining focus groups be conducted online or in-person subject to coordination with the Public Diplomacy Section. The contractor must administer surveys and conduct message testing, deliver complete audio/video recordings, full transcripts identifying speakers, tabulated questionnaire responses, brief session summaries, a methodological report, and a comprehensive final analytical report with findings, recommendations, and visual presentation. All research data, recordings, and deliverables become U.S. Government property. Participant incentives must be consistent with normal market practices and U.S. Government limitations.
Offerors must be prime contractors with an established European business presence (permanent address and telephone listing) or plan to establish one within 30 days of award. All costs including travel are firm fixed price; Value Added Tax must be listed separately. For proposals over USD 40,000, active SAM.gov registration is required at submission. Research must comply with GDPR and ESOMAR standards. Submissions must be PDF format, maximum 30 MB per file, sent electronically to BrusselsBids@state.gov. Quotations must be in English; incomplete proposals will not be accepted.
