About this opportunity

The Department of State has published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for a four-month extension of gardening services at the US Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia, covering landscaping and groundskeeping for the Embassy compound and diplomatic residences. The extension is being awarded to the incumbent contractor, Ste. Yasmine Garden (also referenced as Yasmine Garden), who has provided these services for the past five years with demonstrated excellent performance. The justification cites "unusual and compelling urgency" under FAR 6.302-2 as the rationale for sole-sourcing, specifically due to delays in completing a new competitive solicitation and the critical need to maintain landscaping services during the summer season for essential tasks including planting, irrigation, and pest control. The contract extension runs from July 1st through October 31st, 2025, with a total value of $35,791.00. The Department of State determined that sole-sourcing to the incumbent contractor is necessary to avoid service interruptions, higher transition costs, and administrative complications that would result from onboarding a new contractor for this short-term period. Interested parties have until August 4th, 2025, at 4 PM local time to submit evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement, though the government retains sole discretion over whether to compete the proposed contract.
