Sources Sought - U.S. Mission South Africa IDIQ

This Sources Sought notice is a market‑research effort by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, to identify vendors capable of providing local guard services for the U.S. Embassy in South Africa. The agency seeks detailed information on a vendor’s licensing, labor‑law compliance, insurance, communications equipment, guard force management, language capabilities, and ability to meet U.S. export control requirements. Responses are voluntary and will not result in a contract award at this stage; the information will shape a future IDIQ contract. • Guard services include 24/7 protection of personnel, facilities, and equipment at the embassy. • Vendors must demonstrate experience with local security contracts, licensing, labor and tax law compliance, and required insurance. • Capabilities required: radio/network operations, CCTV/X‑ray equipment, uniform/vehicle provision, language training, rapid back‑fill of staff, and handling of customs/import/export regulations. • Must be able to transition to contract within ~90 calendar days and manage Government‑Furnished Property. • Submission of a completed Contractor Information Form and capability questionnaire by 16:00 EST, 16 Oct 2026 to Daniel Smith ([email protected]).
