Replacement of four HySecurity gate operators

The U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa is soliciting contractor services to replace four existing HySecurity SlideDriver 50VF2-EFO gate controllers with four new SlideDriver 50VF2/3 units, one of which will be a Slide Driver II SD50F, as specified in the Statement of Work. All work must be performed on-site at the embassy compound and includes site inspection, safe removal and disposal of old units, precise installation with full integration into existing PLC systems, wiring, installation of safety devices such as photo eyes and edge sensors, rigorous testing and commissioning in accordance with UL 325 and ASTM F2200 standards, comprehensive training for local maintenance staff, and delivery of as-built drawings, operations and maintenance manuals, and a detailed completion report with spare parts and service contract recommendations. The contract requires strict compliance with U.S. Embassy security protocols, NDAA telecommunications prohibitions, and mandatory certification through FAR clauses 52.204-24 and 52.204-26. All contractor personnel must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid Unique Entity Identifier, hold required DBA insurance, and obtain security clearance to access the embassy facility. The work must be completed within 60 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with operations scheduled Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The U.S. Government will provide the new gate units; however, shipping and FOB terms are undefined. Proposals must be submitted electronically as two separate, signed, and stamped documents—one financial and one technical—by the deadline of May 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Addis Ababa time. No set-aside provisions apply, and the basis of award is not explicitly stated, though both technical and cost proposals are required. No pricing details are provided in the solicitation, and the contract value remains unspecified. The Contracting Officer’s Representative will verify all deliverables and acceptance, with no detailed contract administration, payment, or accounting details included in the documentation.
