About this opportunity
The Department of State seeks maintenance, inspection, and testing of low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems at a diplomatic facility in Frankfurt, Germany, with proposals due September 14, 2026. No set-aside applies.
Place of performance is 60435 Nord-Ost, Germany. All power shutdowns, switchovers, core maintenance tasks, and functional testing must occur outside regular business hours (after 18:00, weekends, or public holidays) to prevent disruption to diplomatic operations; purely visual inspections of outdoor installations may occur during business hours with prior Security Department coordination.
Deployed maintenance personnel must hold valid, manufacturer-specific certifications for Siemens MV systems (8DJH/8DH10), SIVACON/SENTRON low-voltage switchgear, and GEAFOL/Tumetic transformers, plus industrial battery and charger systems. Proof of training must accompany the bid. Due to the facility's diplomatic status, site access is restricted; the bidder must provide all required documentation for official background checks and security vetting of personnel upon request, and deployment of unvetted personnel is prohibited.
Contractors must use the detailed equipment inventory in Appendix A to identify exact quantities, model designations, manufacturing years, battery types (including VRLA and NiCd), and technical ratings of all assets requiring service. Supporting documents include Appendix B (Statement of Work), Appendix C (switchgear and associated equipment specifications), and Appendix D (de-energized work and lockout-tagout policy).
NAICS code 23821 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors); PSC 6150 (Miscellaneous Electric Power and Distribution Equipment).
