Health and life solicitation

The U.S. Embassy in Côte d’Ivoire is preparing to issue a solicitation for health and life insurance services covering approximately 298 locally hired employees and about 902 eligible dependents. The contract will involve a base period of twelve months with four additional one-year option periods. It will be a firm fixed price contract, and awards may be made based on initial offers without further discussion. Interested parties must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database before submitting their proposals, and all offers must be mailed physically to the contracting office rather than submitted electronically. The solicitation will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website once available, and a pre-quotation conference is planned, with the details to be provided in the solicitation. The contract falls under NAICS code 524114 and is managed by the U.S. Embassy in Abidjan, with the Department of State as the overseeing agency. Prospective offerors should note that the opportunity is not set aside for any special classifications and is subject to applicable tax provisions on certain foreign procurements. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Rindala Wagner, with a secondary contact as Assy-Traore Bintou. The response deadline for submitting offers is June 3, 2026.
