The U.S. Government intends to award a contract to the responsible offeror representing best value using comparative evaluation authorized under FAR 13.106-2(b) (3). A comparative evaluation is defined as the act of comparing two or more offers in response to the RFQ. The item-by-item comparison is performed by comparing each offer directly to one another to determine which provides the best value to the Department.

Prospective offers must still meet basic standards for responsibility at FAR 9.104 and solicitation compliance to be eligible for award. We intend to award a contract based on initial quotations, without holding discussions, although we may hold discussions with companies if there is a need to do so. The Procurement Office will not be holding a pre-quotation conference for this RFQ. However, we will accept questions regarding these requirements until November 16, 2026, via email: PristinaProcurement@state.gov . Responses will be shared directly with interested vendors, and the finalized Q&A will be published on the Embassy website and Sam.gov. Quotations are due by November 30, 2026 @ 15:00 LT.
