About this opportunity
The Department of State is seeking GSM mobile telephone services for the U.S. Embassy in Koror, Palau through Request for Quotations number 19PS4725Q0007. The procurement covers a one-year contract for comprehensive mobile telecommunications services for 33 embassy lines, including a GSM Volume Plan with 30 GB data, covering local and international calls, international roaming, SMS messaging, voice mail, 24-hour customer service, detailed billing, and data services. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotations electronically to GSOKoror@state.gov by 7:00 AM on July 30, 2025, though there is conflicting information in the government file suggesting a July 18, 2025 deadline at 2:00 PM. The government will use a comparative evaluation method authorized under FAR 13.106-2(b)(3) to award the contract to the responsible offeror providing the best value, focusing on technical capabilities, past performance, and pricing rather than a lowest price technically acceptable approach. Required submissions include SF-1449, pricing details, representations and certifications, SAM registration proof, and a Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Questionnaire.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are specifically identified in the solicitation documents. The contract will provide mobile telecommunications services for exactly 33 embassy lines over a one-year performance period, with the specific award value not disclosed in the available documentation. The place of performance is Koror, Palau, where the U.S. Embassy requires these mobile communication services. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with federal procurement requirements including telecommunications equipment and services regulations, and submissions must be in English with file sizes not exceeding 30MB in Microsoft Word, Excel, or Adobe PDF formats.
Notice text
Dear Prospective Quoter:
Subject: Request for Quotations number 19PS4725Q0007
Enclosed is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for GSM with Data Plan Services. If you would like to submit quotation, follow the instructions in Section 3 of the solicitation, complete the required portions of the attached document, and submit it to the address shown on the Standard Form 1449 that follows this letter.
The U.S. Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror representing best value using comparative evaluation authorized under FAR 13.106-2(b) (3).A comparative evaluation is defined as the act of comparing two or more offers in response to the RFQ. The item-by-item comparison is performed by comparing each offer directly to one another to determine which provides the best value to the Department.
Comparative evaluation is NOT a low price technically acceptable (LPTA) or trade-off process. Prospective offers must still meet basic standards for responsibility at FAR 9.104 and solicitation compliance to be eligible for award. We intend to award a contract based on initial quotations, without holding discussions, although we may hold discussions with companies if there is a need to do so.
Quotations are due by 7:00AM, July 30, 2025. No quotations will be accepted after this time. Proposals must be in English and incomplete proposals will not be accepted.
Your quotation must be submitted electronically to GSOKoror@state.gov. It is important to make sure the submission is made in specific size and format; in MS-Word 2007/2010 or MS-Excel 2007/2010 or Adobe Acrobat (pdf) file format. The file size must not exceed 30MB. If the file size should exceed the 30MB, the submission must be made in separate files and attached to separate emails with less than 30MB each.
In order for a quotation to be considered, you must also complete and submit the following:
1. SF-1449
2. Section I, Pricing
3. Section 5 Representations and Certifications
4. Additional information as required in Section 3
5. Proof of SAM Registration
6. CYBERSECURITY SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT C- SCRM Questionnaire and/or State Department Secure Software Development Attestation Form
Offerors shall be registered in the SAM (System for Award Management) database at https://www.sam.gov prior to submittal of their offer/proposal as prescribed under FAR 4.1102. Failure to be registered at time of proposal submission may deem the offeror’s proposal to be considered non-responsible and no further consideration will be given. Therefore, offerors are highly encouraged to register immediately if they are interested in submitting a response to this requirement.
