About this opportunity
The 1 Expeditionary Theater Support Group (1 ETSG), operating under the Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide Host Nation Cultural Advisor and Site Manager services classified under NAICS code 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services). The position requires a single contractor to fulfill both roles, including providing translation assistance, tracking local code and regulation changes, and submitting weekly reports. The government will award a firm-fixed price contract evaluated equally on price and past performance, with evaluation criteria that will not accept past performance summaries unless the Past Performance Questionnaire is submitted timely. Interested vendors must submit quotations by November 20, 2025, and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) without a separate written solicitation document. All questions must be directed to TSgt Sadie Lambert via email prior to the deadline.
This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, and it represents a recompete effort with the current incumbent identified by SAM UEI ME58VJUX6L45. The contract requires a "Shamur" (Confidential/Reserve) level security clearance and specifies that travel will not be separately reimbursed as a distinct line item. The place of performance is Israel with delivery on an FOB Destination basis, and vendors must include delivery schedule information on the Pricing Schedule (Attachment 1). Notably, the government has indicated that funds are not presently available for this contract, with the government's obligation contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds in accordance with FAR 52.232-18. The position does not permit breaks for Israeli IDF Reserve Requirements, and the NAICS size standard is $22.5 million.
