The contract will have a one-year base period with four potential one-year option periods, targeting qualified telecommunications service providers. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submitting an offer. The government intends to award the contract using a comparative evaluation method, which involves directly comparing offers to determine the best value to the agency. Potential offerors are advised that the initial award will likely be made based on initial quotations without discussions, though the agency reserves the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary.
There are no specific set-aside designations for this contract, which falls under NAICS category 51711 for Wired and Wireless Telecommunications Carriers. The solicitation will be electronically submitted to KampalaBid@state.gov, with a 30MB per email submission limit and potential for multiple email submissions. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract will be managed by Contracting Officer Emilia R. Dominguez and Procurement Assistant Simon Peter Kamoga at the U.S. Embassy in Kampala. The pre-solicitation notice is currently archived with an expiration date of April 30, 2026, giving potential contractors ample time to prepare their proposals and ensure SAM registration. A pre-quotation conference is planned, with specific details to be outlined in the full solicitation when issued.
