The US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is seeking offers for a critical 2.7L sport utility vehicle (SUV) to meet their transportation needs. The embassy has provided a detailed statement of work (SOW) that outlines the requirements and expectations for the vehicle.
The SOW specifies the key attributes and capabilities that the SUV must possess, emphasizing the need for a powerful yet efficient 2.7L engine and the associated drivetrain and safety features. The vehicle will be primarily used for official duties, catering to the embassy's operational requirements in Malaysia.
To be considered, contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database, as mandated by the FAR provision 52.204-7. This is a necessary step for eligibility, and contractors are encouraged to complete the registration process before submitting their offers.
The embassy encourages electronic responses and has provided clear formatting guidelines. Offers must be submitted as MS-Word, MS-Excel, or PDF files, with a strict size limit of 25MB. If a submission exceeds this size, it must be divided into smaller files, each attached to separate emails. The deadline for submissions is firm, and contractors must ensure their offers are received prior to it.
All interested parties are advised to review the SOW thoroughly, as it contains vital information and specifics regarding the vehicle requirements. Any clarifications or questions must be directed to the embassy's procurement supervisor, Punitha Ratnasingam, whose contact details are provided.
This opportunity is expected to result in a firm-fixed-price contract. Interested contractors must submit a detailed offer outlining their proposed solution, including any relevant technical specifications, pricing information, and a delivery schedule.
The US Embassy expects to evaluate offers based on the suitability of the proposed SUV, with a focus on meeting the requirements outlined in the SOW. Price will also be a consideration in the evaluation process.
For clarity and to ensure a thorough submission, contractors should carefully review the SOW and seek any necessary clarifications before submitting their offers. The embassy has provided a dedicated email address, KualaLumpurDTO@state.gov, for electronic submissions. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their offers are received by the stated deadline and adhere to the specified format requirements.
Any further questions or requests for clarification on this opportunity should be directed to the primary contact, Punitha Ratnasingam, at the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
