Guatemala - Trailer Axels and Accessories

The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City, under the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is soliciting quotations for replacement steel axles and related accessories compatible with Boat Master aluminum boat trailers to support maritime interdiction operations. This Request for Quotation (RFQ 19GT5026Q0015) will be evaluated based on technical compliance, price (lowest-priced technically acceptable), delivery schedule capability, and past performance within the past three years, with award intended as a Firm Fixed Price purchase order on an all-or-none basis without discussions unless offerors fall within a competitive range. All offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submission and must provide completed SF-18 forms, warranty statements, delivery schedules, and proof of SAM registration. Quotations are due electronically to GuatemalaBids@state.gov by March 27, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, with Amendment No. 1 issued on March 10, 2026, providing additional technical specifications and reference photographs to clarify requirements for two distinct trailer models.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations and encompasses nine line items totaling equipment for two types of trailers: three Boston Whaler 37-foot trailers and three Midnight Express 42-foot trailers, including 9 units of 8,000-pound torsion axles, 9 units of 7,000-pound torsion axles, 18 units of 7,000-pound capacity idler axle service kits, 18 units of brake hubs, 6 trailer jacks, wheels, and tires of varying specifications for each trailer type. Delivery requirements vary by contractor location, with U.S.-based contractors required to deliver to a Miami warehouse within 30 calendar days and Guatemala-based contractors required to deliver directly to Mazatenango within 15 calendar days, with all pricing to include labor, materials, insurance, overhead, profit, packaging, and applicable taxes, with a 12% Value Added Tax (VAT) applied separately to invoices. Performance of the work is located in Guatemala, and vendor identification should reference the specific Vehicle Identification Numbers and reference photographs provided in the amendment for accurate component matching to the two trailer models.
