The Department of State is soliciting quotations for vehicle insurance services through Request for Quotations (RFQ) Number 19KS7026Q0018, issued on February 25, 2026. The U.S. Embassy Seoul requires comprehensive insurance coverage and management services for U.S. Government-owned official vehicles across multiple diplomatic facilities in South Korea. Offerors must demonstrate capability through project manager credentials fluent in English and Korean, established business operations in Korea, relevant past performance references, and proof of obtaining all locally required licenses and permits. The government will award a purchase order to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror without discussions, though discussions may occur with competitors in the competitive range if necessary. Quotations are due March 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM Korea Standard Time, with contract performance beginning April 1, 2026.

This solicitation involves no set-aside designations and encompasses insurance coverage for 108 U.S. Government-owned vehicles organized into six coverage tiers with varying protection levels, ranging from third-party liability only to full comprehensive coverage. The contract period runs for 12 months from April 1, 2026, through April 1, 2027, covering vehicles at the U.S. Embassy Seoul, Consulate Busan, and DHS/Container Security Initiative facilities in Busan. All pricing must be submitted in Korean Won without value-added tax, as the Embassy holds a tax exemption certificate. Minimum coverage requirements include unlimited third-party bodily injury, ¥100,000,000 third-party property damage, ¥30,000,000 own bodily injury where applicable, and ¥200,000,000 uninsured automobile damage for comprehensive policies. Offerors must provide proof of SAM registration, completed representations and certifications, and evidence of business capability to meet the Embassy's operational requirements.
