The project involves constructing multiple facilities including three Controlled Access Centers (CACs), a Recreational Facility, Marine Security Guard Residence, Support Annex, Heated Parking Structure, and Utility Building. Contractors must demonstrate significant prior experience by having successfully completed a construction contract valued at least $150,000,000 in the United States or at a U.S. diplomatic mission. Evaluation criteria will focus on the offeror's ability to meet pre-qualification requirements outlined in the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986, including being a U.S. incorporated entity with principal business operations in the U.S. The solicitation is currently open, with electronic submissions due by 3:00 PM Eastern Time on March 24, 2025, through specified FAN.gov email addresses.

The solicitation is not designated with any specific set-aside classifications, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The project is estimated to have a total contract value between $300-330 million, covering approximately 12,024 gross square meters of construction on a 4.01-hectare site in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The contract will be a firm fixed-price arrangement requiring comprehensive design and construction services, with contractors needing to possess or be able to obtain a Secret facility security clearance. Offerors must demonstrate they have been in business for more than two years, employ primarily U.S. citizens in management roles, and have sufficient technical and financial resources to complete the project. The solicitation process will occur in two phases: the current Phase I pre-qualification submission, followed by a Phase II Request for Proposal (RFP) from pre-qualified offerors.
