The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait has issued a solicitation for the purchase of two vehicles: one pickup truck and one mid-size SUV. The Embassy seeks direct distributors, certified authorized licensed dealers, or representatives in Kuwait with the ability to provide manufacturer warranties and services.
The key requirement is the supply of new vehicles, specifically the latest models from 2023 to 2025, that conform to the outlined specifications. The pickup truck should be a Chevrolet Silverado or an equivalent model, and the SUV a Chevy Blazer or equivalent mid-size vehicle. Both must meet criteria regarding engine type, output, seating capacity, transmission, brakes, steering, and safety features.
Bidders should be established entities in Kuwait, with the necessary certifications and modifications to adhere to local market standards. The Embassy emphasizes compliance with local regulations and seeks vendors who can ensure this adherence.
The procurement process involves submitting quotations including all costs, with the contract being awarded based on the lowest acceptable quote. The Embassy encourages bidders to submit their quotations electronically by the deadline, which is 10:00 am local time on August 15, 2024.
It is anticipated that the contract will be awarded within 75 days of this deadline, and the successful bidder will be required to deliver the vehicles to the Embassy within 15 days of the award.
For further clarification and questions, potential bidders can contact Sahar Nejah or Zeyad I Qishawi at the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait.
