About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Bern is seeking a qualified contractor to upgrade the kitchen systems at the Chief of Mission Residence (CMR) through a comprehensive refurbishment project. The Department of State requires a contractor capable of fabricating and installing new cooking, refrigeration, and food preparation equipment that improves durability, sanitation, and functionality while meeting Swiss building codes. The project involves complete removal of existing kitchen systems, proper disposal or recycling of materials, and installation of new stainless steel equipment with precise specifications. All new systems must be installed by certified factory service technicians located within 150 km of the CMR, with strict limitations on kitchen downtime - no more than 8 consecutive calendar days of interruption. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 18, 2025, with responses due by April 3, 2025.
The contract opportunity is not designated for any specific set-aside category and falls under NAICS category 337126 for Household Furniture Manufacturing and PSC category 7320 for Kitchen Equipment and Appliances. The project requires comprehensive work including disconnection of existing systems, installation of new equipment with welded and polished seams, and thorough clean-up and final inspection to ensure the kitchen is immediately functional upon completion. Contractors will need to demonstrate capability to fabricate most systems off-site and comply with local Swiss regulations for installation and waste management. While specific budget details are not provided, the complexity of the project suggests a significant investment in high-quality, custom kitchen infrastructure that meets stringent diplomatic facility standards.
