Mobile Telephone Services for US Embassy Ljubljana, Slovenia

The Department of State is soliciting quotations for mobile telephone services to support operations at the U.S. Embassy in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The Request for Quotations (RFQ) seeks a single indefinite-quantity contract for services spanning from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027, with one optional 12-month extension. Key contract requirements include the provision of 24-hour service coverage, international roaming capabilities, detailed billing information, and compliance with federal telecommunications equipment regulations, specifically adherence to Section 889(a)(1)(B) of the National Defense Authorization Act regarding prohibited telecommunications equipment manufacturers. The government will employ a comparative evaluation methodology to select the contractor offering the best overall value, considering technical capabilities, past performance, and pricing rather than utilizing a lowest-price-technically-acceptable or trade-off approach. Prospective quoters must submit their responses electronically to LjubljanaQuotes@state.gov by 10:00 AM local time on January 12, 2026 (note: this deadline has now passed as of the current date of January 12, 2026), and all submissions must include completed SF-1449 forms, pricing information, representations and certifications, a Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management Questionnaire, and NDAA certification documentation.

No set-aside designations apply to this procurement, and no incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation materials. The contract encompasses services for a total of 117 mobile telephone lines, consisting of 104 voice package accounts featuring unlimited calls, SMS/MMS capabilities, and data allowances of up to 800 GB within Slovenia and 30 GB throughout the European Union, plus 13 data-only accounts with up to 100 GB data transfer within Slovenia. The contract value is anticipated to range between a minimum order of $100 and a maximum of $20,000 per year, representing the anticipated annual spending for mobile telephone services. The place of performance is 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, where the U.S. Embassy will receive and utilize the mobile telecommunications services. All proposals must be submitted in English using specific file formats (MS-Word 2007/2010, MS-Excel 2007/2010, or Adobe Acrobat PDF) with individual file sizes not exceeding 30 MB, and incomplete submissions will not be accepted for consideration.
