About this opportunity
The Department of State issued a Questions and Answers addendum to Request for Quotations Solicitation No. 19L01026Q0005 for MSG Cook services at the U.S. Embassy in Bratislava, Slovakia, with a question submission deadline of September 16, 2026, at 13:00 local time.
The cook will provide meal services for a seven-member detachment, preparing 21 meals daily. Offerors must demonstrate a minimum of three years' food-service management experience and hold relevant food-safety certifications, documented at quotation submission. Third Country Nationals are eligible; contractors bear sole responsibility for obtaining work permits, visas, and residency authorization. A single cook may provide full coverage without a required backup.
Contractors must operate an established business in Slovakia with a permanent address and telephone listing; U.S.-registered companies may satisfy this requirement through a locally registered subcontractor. Required insurance includes EUR5,000,000 general liability and EUR5,000,000 workers' compensation/occupational disease coverage. Defense Base Act coverage is waived for Slovakia; self-employed contractors may provide locally mandatory insurance instead. Food and grocery costs are funded separately through the detachment mess bill and must not be included in the fixed monthly price. VAT must be stated as a separate line item at 23%.
Offerors may request a pre-quotation site visit of the MSG kitchen if requested by September 14, 2026. Required submission documents, listed in Section 3 of the solicitation (pages 32–33), include SF-1449 and Section I Pricing.
