Guatemala - SUV Vehicles

The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City is seeking to procure two commercial sport utility vehicles under Request for Quotation 19GT5026Q0050, with one unit equivalent to or exceeding the 2026 or newer Toyota RAV4 and a second unit equivalent to or exceeding the Toyota Fortuner, totaling three vehicles. Deliveries must be made to Boulevard Austriaco 11-51, Zona 16, Guatemala City, with strict adherence to delivery windows on weekdays between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM, and on weekdays 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM except Fridays, which allow only morning deliveries. The contract operates under CIF pricing terms and requires full compliance with U.S. government procurement regulations, including exemption from Guatemala’s 12% IVA tax. Vehicles must be new, fully warranted for use in Guatemala, and delivered FOB destination, making the contractor responsible for all transportation costs and risks until arrival at the embassy’s designated location. The solicitation treats these as commercial off-the-shelf items and follows FAR Part 12 procedures, with evaluation heavily focused on compliance with Buy American and Trade Agreements Act requirements, particularly regarding the origin of end products, domestic content, and critical components. No detailed scoring weights, technical ratings, or past performance criteria are specified, implying award will be based on regulatory compliance and pricing within the constraints of commercial item acquisition rules. The contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management, maintain an active UEI and CAGE code, and comply with a comprehensive set of FAR clauses including ethics, whistleblower protections, supply chain security prohibitions (covering Kaspersky, Huawei, ZTE, TikTok, and other restricted entities), labor standards under Executive Orders 13706 and 14026, equal opportunity mandates, reporting obligations for executive compensation and subcontract awards, and subcontracting preferences for small businesses. Payment will be made electronically via EFT within Net 30 days upon delivery and government acceptance, which occurs solely at the embassy’s procurement office. All contractual obligations flow through the Department of State, with the primary point of contact for bidding inquiries located in Washington D.C., while the embassy’s General Services Office in Guatemala City serves as the physical receiving and inspection authority. No attachments or detailed packaging, marking, or bar-coding specifications are provided, and no contract value or unit pricing data is disclosed in the solicitation, leaving financial terms to
