About this opportunity
The Department of State is soliciting quotations for Cell Phone Communication Services for the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia. The procurement seeks a mobile telephone service provider to deliver comprehensive cellular services including unlimited voice calls, SMS/MMS messaging, international roaming, mobile data, and 24-hour customer support. Vendors must meet specific technical requirements including 90% local network coverage in Georgia, international connectivity, and 4G/LTE or better data services, along with cybersecurity supply chain risk management compliance. The government will employ a comparative evaluation process to select the best value offeror, comparing proposals directly against one another rather than using a lowest-price-technically-acceptable approach. Quotations must be submitted electronically to TbilisiGSOProcurement@state.gov by January 20, 2026, at 23:59 local time (GMT+4), with required submissions including SF-1449, pricing information, representations and certifications, C-SCRM Questionnaire, Secure Software Development Attestation Form, and proof of SAM registration.
This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and represents an unrestricted acquisition. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with two optional 12-month extension years, with the embassy estimating approximately 700 mobile lines across the service term, with a minimum contract order of 50 plan subscriptions and a maximum of 800 subscriptions. No specific incumbent contractor or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials. The place of performance is Tbilisi, Georgia, with service administration conducted through the American Embassy Tbilisi located at 29 Georgian American Friendship Avenue. Payment invoices should be directed to tbilisifmovouchering@state.gov, and the solicitation will be administered under Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions for commercial items.
Notice text
US Embassy Tbilisi has a requirement for Cell Phone Communication Services for US Embassy Tbilisi. Solicitation requirements are stipulated on the attached solicitation package.
The U.S. Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror representing best value using comparative evaluation authorized under FAR 13.106-2(b) (3).A comparative evaluation is defined as the act of comparing two or more offers in response to the RFQ. The item-by-item comparison is performed by comparing each offer directly to one another to determine which provides the best value to the Department.
Comparative evaluation is NOT a low price technically acceptable (LPTA) or trade-off process. Prospective offers must still meet basic standards for responsibility at FAR 9.104 and solicitation compliance to be eligible for award. We intend to award a contract based on initial quotations, without holding discussions, although we may hold discussions with companies if there is a need to do so.
Quotations are due by 23:59 local time (GMT+4) on January 20, 2025. No quotations will be accepted after this time. Proposals must be in English and incomplete proposals will not be accepted.
