Notice description

Source text reproduced without an AI summary.

Please note this solicitation is not ready to be issued as of this date. The Embassy of the United States in Panama will launch the solicitation in the System for Award Management (SAM) website when it is available. The U.S. Embassy in Panama requires mobile and data services, including voice and text for basic phones and unlimited data service for Smart Phones and Tablets, for official domestic and international use. The anticipated performance is for a base year, with two one-year option periods, if exercised by the Government. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which will be considered. The Government may award the contract based on the initial offer without discussion. The resultant contract will be an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity type contract under which firm-fixed-priced task orders will be issued for service. Notwithstanding FAR 4.203-1(b)(5)(ii), the Contracting Officer has determined that it is in the best interest of the U.S. Government that offerors be registered in the SAM (System for Award Management) database at https://www.sam.gov at the time of submitting a proposal.
