PR15301671 Non-Battery Operated Tools

The Department of State is seeking to procure a comprehensive set of non-battery operated tools for the U.S. Consulate General in Erbil, Iraq, through Solicitation PR15301671. The procurement focuses on high-accuracy edged and non-edged tools with lifetime warranties, specifically targeting 176 professional-grade Milwaukee tools including guide rail clamps, vacuum filters, Sawzall blades, measuring tools, pliers, wrenches, and specialized equipment for construction and electrical trades. Vendors are required to submit two separate packages - a technical proposal without pricing and a commercial proposal with pricing - by the May 19, 2025 deadline. The government will evaluate submissions using a lowest-price technically acceptable approach, with the option to award the entire contract to a single vendor or split the purchase among multiple technically qualified vendors. Importantly, while specific Milwaukee model numbers are listed, the solicitation encourages vendors to propose equivalent alternative manufacturers that meet the technical specifications.

The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and will be performed in Erbil, Iraq, at the U.S. Consulate Compound located at 413 Ishtar St. Ainkawa. Quantities for individual tools range from 1 to 100 units, with payment to be made via Electronic Funds Transfer within 30 days of delivery. Vendors must be identified as American Vendors per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and can quote prices in U.S. dollars, with shipping options including direct delivery to Erbil or to a consolidation point in North Brunswick, NJ. Vendors are also required to complete additional compliance documentation, including a certification regarding federal anti-discrimination laws and a representation form concerning telecommunications equipment restrictions under the National Defense Authorization Act. The solicitation allows for sample product submissions for approval before an official order and emphasizes the requirement for lifetime warranties on the procured tools.
