About this opportunity
The Department of State's U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City is seeking a contractor to provide Diplomatic Mail Handling Services, specifically focusing on customs clearance, receiving, handling, delivery, and transport of diplomatic mail bags and unclassified diplomatic pouches between the embassy and COMBEX-IM warehouses. The solicitation (RFQ19GT5025Q0012) requires potential contractors to handle an average of 15 DPO bags and parcels daily, with capacity for up to 80 pieces during peak times, each averaging 70 lbs. Contractors must maintain dedicated vehicles with 260-404 cubic feet of cargo capacity and be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The evaluation will be based on the lowest price, technically acceptable offer, with quotations due by March 10, 2025, at 17:00 hours, and any questions from potential bidders required to be submitted by February 14, 2025. The U.S. Government intends to award a one-year purchase order to the most suitable contractor meeting the technical requirements.
The solicitation is not set aside for any specific business category and will be open to all qualified contractors. The place of performance is Guatemala, with services to be conducted Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. and Guatemalan holidays. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, contractors must be prepared to provide comprehensive mail handling services with precise documentation and compliance requirements. The recent amendment (Amendment 0001) adds a critical certification requirement related to Executive Order 14173, mandating contractors confirm compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. The contract includes provisions for a 12% VAT exemption form to facilitate payment, and the successful contractor will be responsible for maintaining proper documentation and meeting the specific operational parameters outlined in the statement of work. The procurement falls under the NAICS category of Couriers and Messengers (492) and the PSC category of Administrative Support: Mailing/Distribution (R604).
