The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines, is preparing to solicit bids for the supply and delivery of fuel scheduled for November 2024. The procurement aims to secure a firm fixed-price contract for fuel oils, with the award going to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror who meets the necessary qualifications. This contract is crucial for ensuring the operational readiness of U.S. diplomatic missions in the region. Interested contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting their offers, which should be sent electronically to ManilaPurchasing@state.gov, with the solicitation expected to be issued around mid-November 2024.
