About this opportunity
The Department of State's U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City, through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is seeking to procure Network Operating System and Installation Services to upgrade network infrastructure across three locations: SGAIA/CICANG headquarters and two Financial Crimes Investigation Unit (DIFE) sites. The procurement includes next-generation firewalls, network switches at core, aggregation, and access layers, optical modules, network racks, and point-to-point wireless antennas for microwave telecommunications, with all equipment required to be new, unused, and in optimal operating condition. All manuals must be furnished in Spanish, and the contractor must provide detailed technical specifications, network diagrams, installation plans, and complete installation services. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer without negotiations, with vendors required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The submission deadline is June 30, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and a mandatory site visit was scheduled for June 4, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values are not disclosed, the scope involves upgrading network infrastructure to improve criminal investigation unit efficiency by 25%, with equipment designed to operate 24/7 and handle approximately 600 cases annually. The technical requirements include 57 active firewall policies, VLAN configurations ranging from 3-8 per location, and specific equipment such as Power Beam Antenna AirMax (Model: PBE-5AC-620) operating at 5150-5875 MHz frequency. Performance will take place in Guatemala across the three designated locations, with the contractor responsible for mono-mode fiber link connections with LC connectors and certification of all network points. An amendment to the original solicitation removed two line items related to antenna installation and configuration for the PNC's existing microwave telecommunication system, streamlining the procurement requirements.
