Synopsis for 19MU2026Q0014 Diplomatic Pouch Services

The U.S. Embassy in Muscat, Oman, is seeking contractors to provide Diplomatic Pouch Services under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract structure, with a proposed base year and four additional one-year options that may be exercised at the government’s discretion. The solicitation, identified as 19MU2026Q0014 and posted on June 16, 2026, is currently in presolicitation status and has not yet been issued for submission. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to award, as mandated by FAR 5.207, and must be deemed responsible contractors. The government intends to award the contract using a lowest-priced technically-acceptable (LPTA) methodology, meaning that only offers meeting minimum technical requirements will be considered, with selection based solely on the lowest price among those deemed acceptable. Performance will occur entirely at the U.S. Embassy in Muscat, Oman, with no set-aside designated for small businesses or other socioeconomic categories. Electronic proposals will be accepted via SAM.gov once the solicitation is officially issued, though no specific submission deadlines or proposal formatting guidelines are detailed at this time. The contract will require secure, reliable transportation of official diplomatic materials, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the government at the place of performance. The contracting office is located at U.S. Embassy Muscat, PO Box 202, PC 115 MQ, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, with primary contact information provided through MuscatProcurement@state.gov. No detailed specifications, packaging standards, invoicing procedures, payment office information, or contract clauses are currently included in the presolicitation, and the full solicitation documents, including Section K representations and detailed evaluation criteria, will be released when the procurement becomes active.
