Supply and Delivery of Various IT Equipment

The Department of State, through its Embassy in the Philippines, is seeking to procure various IT equipment through a firm fixed price contract. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that the solicitation has not yet been issued on SAM.gov but will be launched at the agency's discretion. All prospective offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to contract award in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision 52.204-7, and interested parties are advised to initiate the registration process immediately. The government may award the contract based on initial offers without discussions, indicating that proposal quality will be critical in the evaluation process. Electronic submissions are required and must be sent via email to ManilaPurchasing@state.gov by the March 9, 2026 deadline, with offers formatted as MS-Word, MS-Excel, or PDF files not exceeding 10 megabytes in size.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is open to all eligible contractors meeting SAM registration requirements. The notice does not specify potential incumbents, award values, or detailed budget ranges, nor does it provide quantities or specific IT equipment specifications at this stage. The Pre-Solicitation Notice serves primarily to alert the market to the upcoming opportunity and allow contractors sufficient time to complete SAM registration before the formal solicitation is issued. Additional procurement details, including technical specifications, evaluation criteria beyond initial offer consideration, and budget information, are expected to be provided when the full solicitation is released on SAM.gov. Interested contractors should monitor the SAM.gov website for the official solicitation announcement and maintain active SAM registration throughout the procurement process.
