The U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé has issued a request for quotations (RFQ) for gardening services at its premises. The solicitation, identified as number 19CM8026Q0002, invites interested companies to submit their bids by December 17, 2025, at 10:00 am.
According to the announcement, "The U.S. Government intends to award a contract/purchase order to the responsible company submitting an acceptable offer at the lowest price. We intend to award a contract/purchase order based on initial quotations, without holding discussions, although we may hold discussions with companies in the competitive range if there is a need to do so." This approach means that contracts may be awarded directly from the initial proposals unless further clarification is necessary.
A pre-quotation conference and site visit will take place on December 2, 2025, at 10:00 am at the embassy's location. Interested parties must register no later than December 1, 2025, by emailing Yaounde_procurement@state.gov with up to two representatives' names.
Quotations must be submitted electronically via email and should adhere to specific file format requirements: MS-Word 2007/2010, MS-Excel 2007/2010, or Adobe Acrobat (PDF), with a maximum file size of 30MB. Proposals must be complete and in English; incomplete submissions will not be accepted.

These include Standard Form SF-1449, pricing information in Section I, representations and certifications in Section 5, additional information outlined in Section 3 of the solicitation document, proof of DBA insurance coverage, and evidence of registration in the System for Award Management (SAM).
