BPA for Rental of Residential Furniture

The U.S. Department of State, through the American Consulate in Milan, Italy, is soliciting quotations for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to rent residential furniture for approximately 35 U.S. government-owned or leased apartments in Milan. The BPA will cover the furnishing, delivery, installation, assembly, removal, and sanitization of household goods for families of varying sizes—12 units for families of two, 15 for families of four, and 4 for families of six—totaling an estimated 31 furniture kits. Furniture must be of household quality, constructed from solid wood, metal, fabric, or glass, and comply with matching set requirements in classic or modern styles as illustrated in Attachment 3. The contract is firm fixed price, with payments to be made in Euros, and the U.S. Consulate will not reimburse VAT due to tax exemption. The performance period is one base year, with a possible extension of up to six months total across multiple options. Delivery and service must occur Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and defective items must be replaced or repaired within five working days. All furniture remains the property of the contractor, who is also solely responsible for providing and removing all packing materials after delivery or pick-up. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) with an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) prior to submission, and failure to do so renders the quotation non-responsible. Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than May 26, 2026, at 12:00 noon Milan time to [email hidden], with a specified subject line and file formats limited to MS Office, PDF, or ZIP, and individual emails not exceeding 25MB. Cloud storage links are prohibited. Each offer must include a completed SF-1449 cover page, the Pricing List (Attachment 1), Work Requirements (Attachment 2), pictures of proposed furniture, and all applicable representations and certifications, including those related to telecommunications, business size, executive compensation, whistleblower rights, and combating human trafficking. Contractors must also demonstrate a physical presence within a two-hour drive of Milan’s city center, provide proof of civil liability insurance, and comply with all applicable FAR and DOSAR clauses, including labor standards, ethics, and subcontracting restrictions. Evaluation will focus on technical acceptability based on past performance and experience, with responsibility determined under FAR
