Provision of Ultrasounds for the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MHSS)

The U.S. Embassy in Windhoek, Namibia, on behalf of the Department of State, is seeking to procure ultrasound machines, transducers, consumable supplies, training, and support services for five Namibian hospitals under a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This pre-solicitation notice indicates that a formal solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov in the future, with a response deadline of February 23, 2026. All prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submission, and the government encourages early registration to ensure compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation provision 52.204-7. The resulting contract will be a firm fixed price type, and the government may award the contract based on initial offers without further discussion or negotiation. Electronic submission of offers is permitted, with the requirement that email submissions not exceed 15 MB in size; alternatively, offers may be submitted in person at the U.S. Embassy offices located at 38 Metje Street, Klein Windhoek, Windhoek, Namibia.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning all eligible contractors regardless of business size or status are permitted to compete. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers, nor does it specify an award value or budget range for the procurement. No specific quantity of ultrasound machines is identified in the pre-solicitation notice beyond the reference to five target hospitals. The opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 423450 (Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC Code 3410 (Electrical and Ultrasonic Erosion Machines). The procurement is subject to FAR provision 52.229-12 regarding tax on certain foreign procurements, which indicates special tax considerations apply to this international transaction.
