Department of State 2025 Construction for Muscat, Oman Compound Security Upgrades Request for Information-Market Research

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking a design-build contractor for a Compound Security Upgrade project located in Muscat, Oman. The project involves reconfigurations of the front entrance of a diplomatic compound, including a new main access control point, sallyport, upgraded consular access control, new restrooms and breakrooms, and perimeter wall upgrades to meet Diplomatic Security standards. Contractors must have an active SAM registration, secret facility security clearances, and demonstrate capabilities in financial management, foreign business operations, complex logistics, and project scheduling. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical project experience, past performance, and organizational management capabilities. The RFI requires electronic submissions by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on April 10, 2025, to be sent to Sam Koelbl.

The opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business category, though the Department of State is interested in businesses from socio-economic categories including Women-Owned Small Business, HubZone, 8(a), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses under NAICS code 236220. The project is valued at approximately $25 million and involves work on a historically registered concrete chancery structure that will require a phased approach to maintain secure access for existing personnel. The project will be executed primarily along the front portion of the compound, with contractors needed to develop appropriate phasing and on-site swing space for in-place tenants. The compound is located on Jamait Ad Duwal Arabiyya Street in Muscat, and the work will require careful coordination to minimize disruption to ongoing diplomatic operations.
