Quotations must be submitted electronically in English to HanoiGSOProcurement@state.gov by 17:00 local time on May 20 2026, be valid for at least 120 calendar days, and include a complete price for each CLIN (no “Not Separately Priced” entries).

Offerors must demonstrate a permanent Vietnam address or a commitment to establish an office within 30 days of award, and provide evidence of sufficient personnel, equipment, financial resources, and past performance. Technical evaluation will focus on bandwidth, number of IP addresses, fiber‑optic interface usage, line quality (≤ 0.5 % packet loss, ≥ 99.9 % availability), and overall technical superiority that may justify a higher price.

Unique requirements include the mandatory recovery‑plan submission, C‑SCRM documentation, and strict limits on quotation formatting and participant registration.
