General repair works

The US Embassy San Salvador, under the Department of State, is seeking quotations for general repair work encompassing five trades: civil, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and carpentry services. The solicitation requires contractors to respond to emergency calls within four hours and provide emergency assistance within 24 hours, while permanent repairs must include written estimates approved by the Contracting Officer before work begins. Key qualifications include SAM registration, evidence of established business operations, required local licenses and permits, proof of local social security and payroll registration, and past performance information with client references. The Embassy intends to award three blanket purchase agreements to responsible companies that are technically acceptable and offer market-rate or lower pricing. Critical deadlines include March 10, 2026, for all questions and requests for additional information, and March 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM local time for proposal submission to cotoab@state.gov.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and has an estimated purchase volume of up to $250,000 over five years with no minimum purchase obligation and a single purchase limit of $1,975 per transaction. The pricing table includes 58 line items covering specific repair categories across the five trades, with quotations required to exclude Value Added Tax due to the Embassy's tax exemption certificate. The place of performance is Antiguo Cuscatlán, El Salvador, where the general repair services will be executed. No current incumbent or potential contractor names are identified in the solicitation documents. Offerors must complete the SF-1449 form, provide detailed pricing for Section 1, complete Section 5 Representations and Certifications, and submit all required documentation by the March 18 deadline.
