San Salvador New Office Building Chancery

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) is issuing a two‑phase, full‑and‑open competition for Design‑Build Construction Services to deliver a new chancery office building and associated compound improvements in San Salvador, El Salvador. The project encompasses approximately 20,878 gross square meters of facilities—including a main office building, access‑control structures, utility building, two warehouses, visitor parking, and other campus upgrades—at an estimated design‑build cost of $550 million to $750 million. Offerors must have access to the Department’s ProjNet‑C system and a DCSA‑approved classified information system, hold current facility‑safeguarding clearances, and maintain an active SAM.gov registration throughout the procurement. Phase I (MMR) proposals, due by 3:00 PM EST on May 5 2026 to the listed State Department email addresses, will determine eligibility for Phase II, which will include a site visit and a technical/price RFP requiring demonstration of four comparable prime or JV projects of similar size, scope, and complexity. Respondents must submit a 10‑page capability statement (font 12, PDF or Word) that includes organization details, ownership, UEI and CAGE codes, small‑business certifications (NAICS 236220), current security clearances, and a narrative of relevant past performance, project and risk management approach, and outcomes. Any anticipated subcontracting or teaming arrangements must be described, and proprietary or restricted data must be properly marked. Submissions must use the subject line “San Salvador Design‑Build Construction Sources Sought” and exclude generic brochures, marketing material, or manufacturer offers. The solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov in July 2026, with Phase I eligibility criteria evaluated per the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 (2025 NDAA 7214).
