Ghana Warehouse, Maintenance, and Motor Pool Facility Project

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking contractors for the Ghana Warehouse, Maintenance, and Motor Pool Facility Project, a comprehensive construction project to build a multifunctional facility at Camp Michel in Tema, Ghana. The procurement includes constructing a two-story administration warehouse building with maintenance bay, offices, and training classrooms; a 100-vehicle warehouse shed; integrated surface and road areas including container yard and parking areas; and a facility perimeter wall with entry/exit gates and guard house. The contract will be a hybrid firm-fixed-price plus cost-reimbursable arrangement with performance and payment bonds each valued at 20% of the contract price, along with required Defense Base Act insurance estimated at $31,000. Key evaluation factors include constructor technical experience, past performance, technical approach/risk, management/organization, safety program, third country national recruitment plan, and housing plan. Originally scheduled with a pre-proposal conference and site visit on February 11, 2025, questions due February 21, 2025, and proposals due March 21, 2025, the solicitation was subsequently amended to extend the proposal deadline to July 21, 2025, before ultimately being cancelled on July 8, 2025.

This solicitation did not include any set-aside designations and was open to full and open competition. No incumbent contractors or current service providers were identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values were not disclosed, the project scope indicates a substantial construction undertaking with multiple phases including a 30-day pre-construction survey period followed by an 11-month construction timeline from Notice to Proceed. The facility is designed to support the Ghanaian Armed Forces in their UN peacekeeping operations under the Global Peace Operations Initiative, with the primary place of performance located at Camp Michel, First Battalion of Infantry of the Ghana Army in Tema, Ghana. The project's cancellation means contractors will no longer be able to submit proposals for this opportunity, despite the comprehensive planning and documentation that had been prepared including detailed site plans, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
