Site Visit Notes for Shatter Resistant Window Film Installation Services

The U.S. Embassy in Ankara is soliciting proposals for Shatter Resistant Window Film (SRWF) installation services for its offices and real property. The Department of State is seeking contractors to provide window film installation through an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with an estimated annual requirement of 1,000 square meters. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Ankara-GSO-Procurement@state.gov by December 20th, 2024, at 1600 hours EST +82, with separate technical and price folders. While no specific window film brand is mandated, contractors must meet established technical specifications and can propose multiple film brands. The site visit minutes indicate that contractors should be prepared for varied window sizes and designs, with typical installation times ranging 3-4 hours per apartment.

The solicitation is not designated with a specific set-aside classification and will be open to all qualified contractors. The place of performance is Ankara, Türkiye, with contractors expected to be prepared to receive 2-3 weeks' notice before service requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract appears structured to accommodate flexible service needs across embassy properties. The contract will likely involve multiple installation projects across different embassy-owned or managed properties, with contractors needing to demonstrate technical capability to install window film efficiently and effectively. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 523 (Securities, Commodity Contracts, and Other Financial Investments and Related Activities) and PSC code H263 (Equipment and Materials Testing for Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems), suggesting a focus on security-related infrastructure improvements.
