AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Embassy Kathmandu, under the Department of State, is soliciting mobile telecommunications services through a special notice issued on May 7, 2026, with proposals due by May 11, 2026. The contract, identified as solicitation number 19NP4026Q0010-Q001, is a service-based procurement under NAICS code 517112, aimed at establishing and maintaining a Closed User Group (CUG) for voice, data, and SMS communications across the U.S. Mission in Kathmandu and affiliated sister agencies. Services must be delivered directly by a Nepal Telecommunications Authority-licensed provider with no third-party intermediaries, ensuring uninterrupted access even after data thresholds are reached under the “Unlimited Credit Limit” provision. The place of performance is Kathmandu, Nepal, with no requirement for full-time on-site staffing, though remote account management and responsive technical support are mandatory. A primary Corporate Account Manager must be designated to handle service issues, and all contract modifications, including SIM balance adjustments, require written approval from the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative. Contractors must comply with stringent local regulatory requirements from the Government of Nepal, including formal approvals for device tracking and SIM provisioning, and must submit specific documentation such as the C-SCRM form if software is involved, a completed SF-1449 with VAT as a separate line item, CAGE/NCAGE/UEI and facility code information, and an authenticated map showing proximity to the U.S. Embassy in Maharajgunj. No socioeconomic set-asides apply, and offerors must hold a valid business license in Nepal to be eligible. While the contract start date is anticipated for August 17, 2026, the duration and total value remain unspecified. Invoicing and payment details are not provided, but the Contracting Office is located in Washington, DC. Evaluation will focus on technical compliance with the Statement of Work, adherence to Nepali regulatory frameworks, and financial responsiveness, though no formal weighting or evaluation methodology has been published. Packaging and marking requirements are absent due to the service nature of the procurement, and no formal FAR clauses or Section J attachments are listed, with all critical requirements embedded in the solicitation’s operational provisions.
