The U.S. Embassy Kathmandu, under the Department of State, is seeking a contractor to execute an eight-month campaign titled “80 Years Together: Building Nepal's Next Century with American Innovation” to commemorate eight decades of bilateral relations between the United States and Nepal. The initiative will be delivered through four core programs: an AI for Academic Excellence initiative to enhance educational outcomes, a Startup Export Readiness Accelerator to foster Nepali entrepreneurial growth, a Sports Diplomacy Initiative promoting the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and an “80 Stories: Eighty Years, Eighty Lives Changed” narrative campaign highlighting personal impacts of U.S.-Nepal cooperation. The contractor is responsible for providing full managerial, administrative, and direct labor support along with comprehensive logistics, coordination, and operational services to implement these programs across Nepal. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis, with performance expected to occur entirely within Nepal under the auspices of the U.S. Embassy Kathmandu. All offerors must be active registrants in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to award, as mandated by FAR 52.204-7, and proposals must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PDF format, with individual files not exceeding 20MB. The solicitation, designated 19NP4026Q0034, is classified under NAICS code 541820 for Public Relations Agencies, with no set-aside provisions applied. Although the initial posting date was June 29, 2026, and the response deadline was July 13, 2026, the overarching document indicating readiness for submission notes that the solicitation was not yet ready for issuance at the time of publication, suggesting potential revisions or delays. The Government reserves the right to award the contract based on initial proposals without discussions, and the performance period is anticipated to last one year.
