About this opportunity

The U.S. Department of State's Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is soliciting proposals for the replacement, supply, installation, and maintenance of intercom systems at the ACS Consular Section. The project involves removing existing microphone installations and installing a new full-duplex, hands-free microphone window system covering five teller windows in the American Citizen Services section on the mezzanine floor. The contract requires specific technical specifications including Biamp AudiaFlex equipment, NPS-1 desktop microphones, gooseneck wall-mount microphones, speakers, and a controller, along with comprehensive documentation in both English and Portuguese. The evaluation will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with special consideration given to companies that can provide ongoing maintenance and support services. Proposals are due by June 13, 2025 at 3:00 PM, and interested firms must confirm their participation by emailing RioProcurement@state.gov while being registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM).

This solicitation operates under a firm-fixed price contract structure with no set-aside designations, making it open to all responsible sources. The performance period spans 120 calendar days and includes system design, preparation, shipment, installation, training, warranty, and maintenance services. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty, conduct two preventative maintenance visits, and offer remote troubleshooting support as part of the deliverables. The audio system must meet specific performance standards including a frequency response of 30Hz-18 KHz, signal-to-noise ratio of 55dB, and total harmonic distortion of 1 percent. All work will be performed at the U.S. Consulate General facility located in Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the government reserving the right to award the contract based on initial offers without conducting further discussions.
