About this opportunity

The U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Serbia is seeking catering services for its Independence Day reception on July 2, 2024. The Embassy plans to host approximately 1,500 attendees at an outdoor social event and will award a firm fixed price contract for catering services. All responsible vendors may submit a quotation for consideration without discussions, though discussions may be held with companies in the competitive range if necessary. Quotations are due by May 22, 2024. Vendors must register in the System for Award Management at www.sam.gov prior to submitting a proposal to be considered for award.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Vendors must also obtain Defense Base Act insurance, as instructions are provided on the Embassy's website. The North American Industry Classification System code for food services and drinking places and Federal Supply Class code for catering services would apply. Budget details and current contractors were not provided, though the event size suggests this could represent a mid-sized contract opportunity for local Serbian caterers. Instructions for registering in SAM and obtaining insurance are located on the U.S. Embassy's procurement website.
