About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) is seeking design-build construction services for a new Controlled Access Area (CAA) Annex at the U.S. Embassy Compound in Nairobi, Kenya. The solicitation is structured as a two-phase procurement process, with an initial pre-qualification phase followed by a formal proposal submission. Contractors must demonstrate completion of similar work valued at a minimum of $100 million and qualify as a "United States Person" under the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986. A Secret facility security clearance is required for participation. Potential offerors must submit electronic submissions via Google Drive by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on December 31, 2024, with clarification requests due by December 13, 2024. The evaluation will focus on contractors' ability to meet specific U.S. person certification requirements, including U.S. incorporation, management composition, and technical capabilities.
The contract is available for full and open competition with no specific set-aside designations. The project involves constructing a 12,500 gross square meter, six-level facility with an estimated construction cost ranging between $175-250 million. The new facility will include offices, meeting rooms, support spaces, a lobby, site and security improvements, and a new main compound access control. The place of performance is exclusively in Nairobi, Kenya, at the existing U.S. Embassy Compound. Contractors must have a principal place of business in the United States and demonstrate the ability to employ U.S. citizens in 80% of principal management positions and more than half of permanent full-time positions. For joint ventures, a U.S. person must own at least 51% of the assets. The project is expected to be completed within the fiscal year 2025 timeframe, with specific construction timelines to be determined during the proposal phase.
