U.S. Embassy Canberra Residential Window Replacement

The U.S. Embassy Canberra is soliciting proposals to replace all existing single-pane windows with new double-glazed, energy-efficient window systems across its residential properties in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. The intent is to enhance thermal insulation, reduce air leakage, improve acoustic performance, and ensure better weather tightness, thereby lowering energy consumption and increasing occupant comfort. The replacement windows must maintain or enhance the architectural character of the buildings while meeting modern energy standards, addressing the significant deterioration and inefficiencies of the current single-glazed units that have reached the end of their service life. The solicitation, identified as 19AS2026Q0026, was posted on August 2, 2026, with responses due by September 4, 2026, and is open to all qualified contractors without set-aside restrictions under NAICS code 326199. Proposals must be submitted through the SAM.gov portal, and all contractual obligations will be performed at the embassy’s residential compound in Canberra. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Paul Rau, reachable via email at CNBGSOProcurement@state.gov, with the contracting office located in Washington, D.C., under the U.S. Department of State.
