Carpet Removal and Parquet Installation Residential Property in The Hague, The Netherlands.

The U.S. Embassy in The Hague is soliciting bids for the removal of existing carpet and installation of new parquet flooring across approximately 200 square meters on the second floor of a residential property in Wassenaar, Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The project is divided into three distinct phases: the Primary Suite, Guest Primary Suite, and Hall and Guest Rooms, with each phase requiring full service including carpet and underfloor removal, concrete subfloor preparation, sanding, sealing, and installation of oak parquet with a wenge border. All work must comply with Dutch labor and safety regulations (Arbo/VCA), and the contractor must maintain strict site conduct standards, including prohibitions on smoking, alcohol or drug use on-site, unauthorized use of client facilities, and unsanctioned work. Proposals must be submitted via email to Thehaguecontracts@state.gov no later than 5 p.m. local time on June 29, 2026, and must include a fully completed SF-1449 form with specific blocks filled, a price/financial proposal, and the pricing schedule from page 9 of the solicitation. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for June 12, 2026, and interested parties must register for access by June 9, 2026. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, requiring offerors to demonstrate technical acceptability and responsibility before price becomes the determining factor. All pricing must exclude Value Added Tax (VAT), as the U.S. Mission holds a valid tax exemption, but the applicable VAT rate must be clearly stated. The contractor must submit physical samples of oak parquet, wenge border material, and a finished sample board demonstrating primer and two coats of matte varnish, along with a cleaning and polishing kit sufficient for one year of maintenance and a final inspection report. The contract includes a full one-year warranty on materials and installation, effective from the date of final acceptance, and all damage occurring before that inspection is the sole responsibility of the contractor. The contractor must be authorized to operate in the Netherlands, hold all required licenses, and comply with U.S. government contracting requirements, including maintaining an active SAM.gov registration, providing a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, disclosing ownership and tax information, and certifying compliance with anti-trafficking, ethics, whistleblower, and sanctions provisions. Work is to be performed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5
