U.S. Embassy Canberra Requirement for Mid-Size Hybrid SUV

The U.S. Embassy in Canberra is soliciting a firm-fixed-price contract for the supply and delivery of one new, unused, right-hand drive mid-size hybrid SUV. The preferred reference vehicle is the Toyota RAV4 GR Sport, or a superior equivalent, featuring a 2.5L four-cylinder plug-in hybrid electric vehicle system, all-wheel drive, and a five-star ANCAP safety rating. The contractor is responsible for all on-road costs, including Australian Capital Territory registration, and must ensure the vehicle is delivered to the embassy within 40 days of the contract award. The government will not accept vehicles that are left-hand drive, used, or lacking a valid manufacturer-backed warranty and in-country after-sales support. Award will be granted to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror who is a qualified responsible contractor. Evaluation factors include a compliance review, technical acceptability based on past performance and experience, and a price evaluation that includes a potential six-month option to extend services. Offerors must provide a SAM Unique Entity Identifier, a CAGE code, and a comprehensive strategic plan covering procurement, delivery, and quality assurance. Additionally, the contractor must comply with NDAA Section 889 regarding prohibited telecommunications equipment and adhere to specific branding and marking requirements for U.S. Government support.
