The Department of State issued a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract to Tymetal Corporation for preventive maintenance services on HySecurity Bi-fold and Sliding gate systems at the U.S. Embassy Kampala (SCAC and MCAC facilities) in Uganda, with responses due by August 14, 2026. The gates are classified as mission-critical, life-safety systems supporting facility perimeter security, controlled access, and occupant safety. Tymetal is the original installer and sole responsible source capable of providing certified preventive maintenance, including scheduled preventive inspections, functional testing of safety devices, diagnostic testing, minor corrective repairs, emergency call-back support, software updates, replacement parts installation, and maintenance documentation. Market research identified no authorized HySecurity dealers or representatives in Uganda with access to Tymetal's proprietary software, specialized diagnostic tools, approved replacement parts, and technical information. The contract includes a one-year base period plus four optional one-year renewal periods, with total estimated cost of $177,206. Although this is a sole source award, responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration.
