Invitation to Bid for the Supply and Delivery of Hoops and Rims for Basketball Court

The US Embassy Monrovia, under the Department of State, is soliciting bids for the procurement of five basketball hoop systems designed for outdoor residential play, with the award to be made based on the lowest price from a responsible vendor submitting an acceptable quotation. Each system must include a 72-inch tempered glass backboard with a 3-foot or 4-foot offset, a steel frame with aluminum trim, a flex breakaway rim, and a U-Turn Pro lift system allowing height adjustment from 7 to 10 feet, mounted on a 5- or 6-inch square steel pole with heavy-duty padding and a J-bolt anchor. The equipment must be engineered to withstand extreme outdoor weather conditions including UV exposure, rain, and snow while maintaining structural integrity and providing stable, wobble-free performance during competitive use, and must comply with all applicable safety standards for recreational equipment. Delivery is required to the specified address in North Brunswick, New Jersey, with a strict timeline of sixty days after receipt and acceptance of the purchase order, and quotations must include direct delivery charges, a realistic delivery date, and the weight and dimensions of the shipment, which must not exceed 116.14 x 47.25 x 35.05 inches per unit. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a current Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, and must provide a valid Taxpayer Identification Number.

The offeror must also certify ownership details, including immediate and highest-level owners and any predecessors that held federal contracts in the past three years, and must comply with DOSAR 625.8001 vendor vetting requirements, which may result in the embassy selecting the next best offeror if vetting delays jeopardize timely delivery. Upon award, the contractor must provide complete installation instructions and diagrams, a parts list with identification numbers, manufacturer’s warranty documentation, maintenance recommendations, safety guidelines, and technical support contact information. Payment terms are net-30 days after receipt of all goods. All submissions must be received by June 19, 2026, and the solicitation does not utilize any set-aside provisions.
