AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract to deliver 80 pre-fabricated steel modular prison cells and four structural steel mezzanines to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for immediate deployment adjacent to Base Vertieres to support Haitian National Police operations against gang activity. The procurement has an extremely tight, non-negotiable timeline: the target award date is June 1, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 17, 2026, and the total period of performance must not exceed 45 days from award. Only vendors who can demonstrate that all 80 modular units are already fabricated, warehoused, and ready for immediate shipment upon contract award are eligible to respond; proposals lacking documented proof of current inventory location and readiness will be deemed non-responsive. All design and fabrication work must be performed in the United States, and deliveries must be made to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, under FOB destination terms with freight prepaid. The cells must meet specified dimensions of 8’W x 12’L x 8’H and are to be fully functional “wet” units with all installation components, including shims, welding plates, nuts, and bolts. The four mezzanines must include railings, stairs, and bar grating decks, with engineered designs based on INL-provided conceptual parameters. Additional deliverables include bilingual Operations and Maintenance Manuals in French and English, a comprehensive warranty plan, engineering shop drawings, and installation training for INL personnel. Evaluation will follow a best-value tradeoff approach, with technical merit weighted at 70% and price at 30%. Within the technical score, delivery timeline is the most critical factor, accounting for 45% of the total technical evaluation, followed by manufacturing capacity and readiness at 25%, past performance on similar projects at 15%, technical compliance at 10%, and logistics and transportation capability at 5%. Offerors must submit three separate volumes: a Technical Proposal containing mandatory documentation of product availability, a detailed delivery schedule, and qualifications; a Past Performance volume with at least three verifiable references from comparable international modular prison or detention projects completed within the last 36 months; and a Price Proposal with a total firm-fixed-price inclusive of all manufacturing, packaging, shipping, and warranty costs and a detailed breakdown. Proposals must be submitted by May 2
