Who can bid
This solicitation is unrestricted — any responsible offeror, including large businesses and international firms, may submit a proposal. There is no small business set-aside, meaning small firms will compete directly against all other qualified bidders.
Under NAICS 334 (Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing), eligible bidders typically include manufacturers, authorized distributors, and resellers of electronic equipment. Given the overseas place of performance in Armenia, bidders should assess their ability to:
- Source products that meet U.S. government technical specifications and any applicable Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance requirements
- Deliver to and perform in Yerevan, including any necessary export/import logistics
- Meet any visa, security clearance, or local registration requirements for personnel accessing the embassy compound
Foreign-owned firms and U.S. companies with international operations are common bidders on embassy procurements abroad.
How to put together a competitive bid
For unrestricted international procurements of this type, consider these practical steps:
Verify product compliance. Embassy procurements typically require TAA-compliant products. Confirm that your equipment originates from designated countries and that you can provide required country-of-origin documentation.
Understand total delivered cost. Factor in all costs: international shipping to Armenia, customs duties and clearance, inland transportation to the embassy, insurance, and any currency fluctuation risk. The government typically evaluates on total evaluated price, not product cost alone.
Assess local presence needs. Determine whether the solicitation requires local installation, training, or warranty support in Yerevan. If you lack presence in Armenia, consider partnering with a local firm or establishing subcontracting arrangements.
Review payment terms and conditions. Foreign commercial transactions with U.S. embassies may involve specific invoicing and payment procedures; understand cash flow implications, particularly for international wire transfers.
Examine past performance requirements. Be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience furnishing similar equipment to government or commercial clients, especially in diplomatic or challenging logistical environments.
