About this opportunity

This Special Notice, posted on April 1, 2026, relates to the maintenance and servicing of critical electrical equipment at the diplomatic facility. The requirement is specific to Eaton's proprietary Magnum DS Drawout Air Circuit Breaker systems, which necessitates OEM expertise and certification.

Interested parties must submit written responses by April 15, 2026, at 16:00 PM Paramaribo Time, providing evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement. There are no specific set-asides or eligibility restrictions noted, meaning any contractor meeting the technical requirements may respond. The government will consider all responses solely to determine whether competitive procurement should be conducted; however, the decision to proceed with sole sourcing remains at the government's sole discretion. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) and PSC code Z1JZ (Maintenance of Miscellaneous Buildings).
