Expendable Supplies

The U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand is soliciting quotations for 20 line items of expendable office and janitorial supplies, including paper towels, toilet paper, facial tissues, garbage bags, plastic zipper bags, food-grade paper cups, and antibacterial hand soap. The Department of State is seeking to award a firm-fixed price contract to the lowest-priced, acceptable, responsible offeror based on initial quotations, though discussions may be held with companies in the competitive range if necessary. Key requirements include that offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to proposal submission, maintain a permanent business address in Thailand, demonstrate the ability to deliver within three working days, provide product samples with their quotations, and submit pricing in Thai Baht. The evaluation will be based solely on price, with the contract awarded to the responsible company offering the lowest cost. The deadline for written questions was November 10, 2025 at 4:00 PM Bangkok local time, the original proposal submission deadline of November 20, 2025 was extended to January 15, 2026 at 4:00 PM Bangkok local time, and the Contracting Officer is Ramon Menendez-Carreira (BangkokGSOProcurement@state.gov).

This solicitation carries no set-aside designation and represents an open competition. The estimated contract value ranges from a minimum of 100,000 Thai Baht to a maximum of 3,600,000 Thai Baht per contract year, with pricing for both a base period and one optional renewal year. The contract will operate on an as-requested basis with individual delivery orders having a minimum value of 1,000 Thai Baht, and the ordering period has been set from March 1, 2026 through February 29, 2028. Deliveries will be made to either the GSO Expendable Supplies Section or the Department of Administration, WRAIR-AFRIMS, both located at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. Third-party delivery services are permitted provided they comply with embassy security regulations, and the solicitation allows some flexibility on product scents while requiring equivalent products that meet specified size and functional requirements.
