Guatemala - SUV Vehicle

The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City is soliciting a single new Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) model year 2025 or newer, comparable to the Chevrolet Traverse, for official use at its compound in Guatemala City. The vehicle must meet specified technical requirements including 7-passenger capacity, all-wheel drive, automatic transmission, over 200 horsepower, white or gray or black exterior, dark interior, air conditioning, power windows, tinted windows, backup camera, parking sensors, electronic stability control, automatic headlights, and a spare wheel with toolkit. Delivery is required to Boulevard Austriaco 11-51, Zona 16, Ciudad de Guatemala, within designated weekday time windows, and the contractor is responsible for all logistics including transportation, import documentation, and compliance with embassy regulations under CIF terms with VAT exemption. The contract is firm-fixed price, and delivery must occur prior to May 2026. The solicitation, numbered 19GT5026Q0030 and posted on April 27, 2026, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026, is open to all offerors with no small business set-aside. Proposals must be submitted electronically to [email hidden] in MS-Word, Excel, or PDF format, with each file under 30MB. Offerors must be registered in SAM, provide a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and certify compliance with numerous FAR clauses including those related to equal opportunity, combating trafficking in persons, employment eligibility verification, cybersecurity supply chain risks, whistleblower protections, and the prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment and services. The contract incorporates mandatory flow-down clauses for subcontractors, including those on small business utilization, labor standards, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors. While no formal evaluation factors or award basis are explicitly stated, the inclusion of FAR Part 15 and Part 25 suggests a trade-off process rather than low-price technically acceptable. Payment will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer within Net 30 terms, and invoicing must include VAT documentation. No contract value is disclosed as pricing is to be proposed by offerors. The contracting officer is Beau P. Garrett, with Zayda Serech as a secondary point of contact.
