The U.S. Embassy in Paris is soliciting proposals to acquire four electric utility cargo vans for use by the U.S. Mission in France, with the contract to be awarded as a fixed-price agreement to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. The government reserves the right to award the contract without engaging in negotiations, making it critical for offerors to submit fully responsive and compliant bids. All contractors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to submitting an offer, in accordance with federal regulation FAR 52.204-7, and are strongly urged to complete registration early to avoid delays.

The solicitation number is 19FR6326Q0091, posted on June 26, 2026, under NAICS code 33611 for motor vehicle manufacturing. There is no set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified businesses regardless of size or status. The contracting office is the Department of State, operating through the U.S. Embassy in Paris, with primary point of contact Craig N. Deatrick and secondary contact Jean-Charles Royer. Although the agency’s official address is listed in Washington, D.C., the vehicles are to be delivered and operated solely in Paris, France.
