Ulaanbaatar NEC SMDP Utilities

The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management is seeking contractors for a comprehensive utility infrastructure project at the New Embassy Compound (NEC) in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The project involves constructing multiple utility systems across a 4.01-hectare site, including sanitary sewer lines, potable and heated water lines, storm sewer infrastructure with a lift station, and electrical conduit trenching for power feeders. Potential contractors must submit electronic responses to GreeneDL@state.gov by January 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with submissions not exceeding 10 pages and including a capabilities statement and notional pricing. The government indicates that if a solicitation proceeds, it would likely be structured as a Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee (CPIF) contract within the Commercial and Institutional Building Construction NAICS category. Responses will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, experience with complex utility infrastructure, and understanding of local municipal system integration requirements.

The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a specific set-aside category, indicating the opportunity is open to a broad range of contractors. The project involves intricate utility work, including installation of two 10KV/3 phase power systems, 900mm storm sewer pipes, and precise coordination with existing local infrastructure. Specific infrastructure requirements include 250 meters of sanitary sewer, 275 meters of combined water lines, 625 meters of storm sewer, and 3.5 kilometers of electrical conduit trenching. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the complexity of the utility systems and the diplomatic nature of the project suggest a significant investment. The project timeline and specific construction dates are not explicitly detailed in the sources sought notice, but the response deadline of January 20, 2025, indicates active procurement planning for this embassy compound utility infrastructure project.
