TEGUC- ESPS Filters for Air Handling Units at the NEC

The U.S. Embassy of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, through the Department of State, is soliciting proposals for Brand Name ESPS Filters for Air Handling Units at the New Embassy Compound. The requirement specifically mandates Camfil brand filter replacement parts with no substitutions or equivalent products permitted, as these filters are engineered to meet precise system specifications including MERV efficiency ratings, pressure drop tolerances, physical dimensions, and sealing configurations established during the original design and construction phase. Proposals must be submitted directly through the UNISON Marketplace by the April 30, 2026 deadline, with this announcement serving as both the combined synopsis and solicitation; no separate written solicitation will be issued. The acquisition will be conducted using FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures on a Firm-Fixed-Price basis. Evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to supply authentic Camfil products through authorized distributors, with competition anticipated among multiple qualified Camfil distributors identified through GSA Advantage and direct outreach to U.S.-based suppliers.

This procurement is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source set-aside, though competition is anticipated among authorized Camfil distributors rather than being restricted to a single contractor. The estimated total contract value is $47,700.00, comprising a Camfil product quote of $35,921.25, a procurement fee of $484.94, ocean freight and container transportation costs of $10,433.00, and port receipt and door delivery charges of $759.62. The justification for the brand-name restriction is based on system-specific engineering constraints and the filters' verified performance characteristics, operational reliability, warranty compliance, and indoor air quality and life-safety considerations critical to the embassy facility. Performance will occur in Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazán, Honduras at the New Embassy Compound location. The contracting officer for this acquisition is Edward Ortiz, and the justification and approval documentation was certified on April 7, 2026.
