Fuel Tank Sump Entry Boot Repairs

The U.S. Embassy in Antananarivo, Madagascar, is seeking repair services for four fuel tank sump entry boots to ensure secure, leak-free connections at gasoline storage points, in full compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards. The requirement is issued under solicitation number 19MA1026Q0011 with a response deadline of August 31, 2026, and is awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning the contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced offeror whose technical proposal meets all mandatory requirements and demonstrates responsibility under FAR Part 9. The work involves complete installation and testing of repaired entry boots using specified materials such as IAC FOAMCase and IBOND400 at the embassy compound in Andranoro, with all labor, equipment, and materials to be provided by the contractor. The period of performance is 74 calendar days from the notice to proceed, which may not be issued earlier than 10 days after award, contingent upon proof of acceptable insurance coverage. Inspection and acceptance will occur on-site, with the U.S. Embassy retaining authority to reject noncompliant work and require correction at the contractor’s expense. Applicable standards include NFPA, OSHA, NEC, IBC, IMC, IPC, USACE EM 385-1-1, and local Malagasy laws, with the most stringent requirement prevailing in case of conflict. All contractor personnel must undergo a Visit Authorization Request process, submit biographic and police clearance data, and carry government-issued identification while on-site. An English-speaking supervisor must be present during all work hours, and key duplication is strictly prohibited without written approval. The total contract value is listed as $314,036,136.23, though this appears inconsistent with the scale of the work described and may reflect a data entry error. Invoices must be submitted electronically to designated embassy email addresses, referencing SF-1449 Block 18a, and all offerors must hold a valid UEI and CAGE code, comply with Buy American and Trade Agreements clauses, and disclose any use of covered telecommunications equipment or engagement in Iran-related transactions. Compliance with whistleblower protections, ethics codes, equal opportunity, and federal supply chain security requirements is mandatory, with no set-aside for small or disadvantaged businesses.
