*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A BRAND-NAME SOLICITATION* The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City through the Facility Management Office (FAC), requires a vendor that can supply brand-new NOTIFIER spares for the Fire Alarm System at the New Embassy Compound (NEC). These spares are essential for the safe, reliable, and continuous operation of the fire alarm systems installed throughout the facility. Components such as control panels, initiating devices, notification appliances, relays, power supplies, communication modules, and other manufacturer-approved replacement parts are specifically designed and tested to function as an integrated part of the fire alarm system. These components ensure proper fire alarm performance, occupant safety, accurate detection and notification functions, communication functions, and compliance with the manufacturer's operational requirements. All items must be brand new and must match specific OEM part numbers and models. No substitutions will be accepted. Pursuant to FAR 4.1102(a) Offerors must be registered in SAM at the time an offer is submitted in order to comply with the annual representations and certifications requirements. Failure to be registered at the time of proposal submission shall deem the offeror’s proposal to be considered non-responsive to the solicitation requirements and no further consideration will be given. Therefore, you are encouraged to complete the registration process and have an active account in sam.gov prior to proposal submission. The guidelines for registration in SAM are also available at: https://sam.gov/content/entity-landing Electronic Submission/Responses: This opportunity allows for electronic responses. Please submit your quotation prior to the response date and time. Due date to submit Proposals: August 24, 2026, 12:00pm.
