About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Canberra, Australia is soliciting quotations for pre-boxed household lodging kits designed to support incoming Embassy personnel with essential household items. The procurement requires three different kit sizes: 55 two-person kits, 35 four-person kits, and 15 six-person kits, each containing comprehensive household items including kitchen supplies, dinnerware, bed linens, bathroom supplies, and laundry accessories. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their quotations electronically to CNBGSOProcurement@state.gov by August 18, 2025, at 4:00 PM Australian Eastern Standard Time. The government will evaluate submissions based on lowest price, technical acceptability, and vendor responsibility, with the award going to the lowest-priced, acceptable, responsible offeror. Key requirements include specific quality standards such as 180 thread count for bed sheets, precise packaging specifications with each box weighing no more than 12 kilograms and having maximum volume of 150 liters, and items must be grouped by category with protective wrapping.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to both U.S. and foreign firms, with foreign vendors required to submit prices in Australian dollars while U.S. firms may quote in U.S. dollars. The contract requires delivery of all 105 kits by October 30, 2025, to the U.S. Embassy Warehouse in Fyshwick, Australia, with goods delivered on plastic-wrapped pallets suitable for unloading from shipping containers. Each kit must be clearly labeled with kit type and box number, color-coded by size, and contain items ranging from stainless steel cookware and microwave-safe containers to queen-sized bed sheets and solid laundry baskets. The place of performance is specified as Harman ACT 2600, Australia, indicating the kits will support Embassy operations in the Australian Capital Territory. While no specific contract value is disclosed in the available documents, the procurement represents a substantial household furnishing requirement supporting diplomatic operations at the Embassy.
