Eligible firms must be U.S.-organized, maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and possess or be capable of obtaining a DCSA Secret Facility Clearance for classified work. Evaluation will be based on three critical factors: a Joint Venture Agreement or Statement of Intent, Technical Project Experience and Past Performance (requiring a minimum of three reference projects completed within the past seven years with at least 80% of the estimated project value), and Organization and Management documentation. Responses are due by March 30, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, submitted via email in PDF format to Caroline Khvtisavrishvili and Patrick Dermidoff at the Department of State.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a Firm-Fixed Price Design-Build contract with subcontracting capped at 50% of total contract value. The estimated project cost ranges from $11 million to $19 million, covering approximately 27.5 acres across the New Embassy Compound (12 acres) and Old Embassy Compound (15.5 acres). Major scope elements include 150kW roof-mounted solar, 450kW and 300kW canopy solar systems, 600kW ground-mounted solar at the Old Embassy Compound, and a 7,000 kWh battery energy storage system. No incumbent contractor is identified in this RFI. Qualified firms should demonstrate experience with complex international projects, foreign business operations, and Liberian partnerships, with particular attention to financial bonding capability, subcontract management, and schedule performance history.
