AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Embassy Seoul is soliciting quotations under Solicitation Number 19KS7026Q0036 for Freedom 250 Commemorative Event Services, with the intent to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to one or more qualified offerors based on lowest priced, technically acceptable proposals. The BPA, which is not a binding contract but a framework for future orders, will have a one-year period of performance from the date of setup and will support event services at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, Korea. Offerors must provide detailed, itemized pricing in Korean Won for a comprehensive range of hospitality services including continental breakfasts, lunch buffets, plated meals, tea and cookies, dinner options, and cocktail hours, both at commercial venues and embassy-provided locations. Pricing must separately account for food and beverage costs versus non-food expenses such as staffing, setup, breakdown, and venue fees. In addition to catering, offerors must quote for add-on services like basic and premium decoration packages, audio-visual support, and customized event materials consistent with official Freedom 250 branding. The solicitation requires full compliance with U.S. Government procurement regulations and local Korean laws, including food safety, health standards, and the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) program. All communications and deliverables must be in English, and the contractor must demonstrate proficiency in both written and spoken English. Submit proposals electronically by July 13, 2026, at 17:00 Korea Standard Time to SeoulProposals@state.gov in MS-Word 2007/2010, MS-Excel 2007/2010, or Adobe PDF format, with each file under 30MB.

Offerors must also affirm compliance with numerous FAR and DOSAR clauses, including those on labor standards, insurance, taxes, subcontracting approvals, anti-trafficking requirements, and prohibitions on contracts with Kaspersky Lab entities.

Dear Prospective Offeror/Quoter:
Subject: Solicitation Number 19KS7026Q0036, Freedom 250 Commemorative Event Services
Enclosed is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Freedom 250 Commemorative Event Services. If you would like to submit a quotation, follow the instructions in Section 3 of the solicitation, complete the required portions of the attached document.
The U.S. Government intends to award a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to one or more responsible companies submitting an acceptable quotation with fair and reasonable prices. We intend to award a BPA based on initial quotations, without holding discussions, although we may hold discussions with companies if there is a need to do so.
A BPA is an Agreement, not a contract, and neither party is bound by its terms and conditions. The Government is not obligated to purchase any definite amount under this BPA. If a need arises, an authorized representative of the Government may issue an order following the procedures outlined in the BPA. If the BPA holder accepts the order, then a binding contract between the Government and BPA holder will exist for that specific order. If the BPA holder refuses to accept orders or furnish quotations in compliance with the terms of the Agreement, then it is likely that the Government will cancel the Agreement.
The pre-quotation conference will be held at the GSO Red Room at #10, Namyoung-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, Korea on June 30, 2026 at 14:00 Korea Standard Time.
If you intend to participate in the pre-quotation conference, please contact Ms. Ko, Yunseong at koys@state.gov to make necessary arrangement for access no later than June 26, 2022 at 17:00 Korea Standard Time.
