How to bid on Mex-nec Scaffolding for Cooling Towers Preventive Maintenance for the Department of State
What the Department of State is buying
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico City needs a complete modular scaffolding system. This system will be used for preventive maintenance activities at the cooling tower area within the New Embassy Compound Facilities. The goal is to provide safe exterior access for maintenance personnel.
The government is not asking for a specific brand or manufacturer. Any proposed product must meet or exceed the minimum technical, safety, dimensional, and documentation requirements. All components must be brand new and free from defects or damage.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the full solicitation is not yet available. The Department of State plans to issue the solicitation later. The deadline for responses to this RFI is August 07, 2026, at 2:00 AM ET.
When the actual solicitation is launched, vendors must be registered in SAM.gov at the time of submitting an offer. Failure to be registered will result in the proposal being considered non-responsive.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for construction and equipment supply firms that can provide modular scaffolding systems. Vendors should be able to supply new, defect-free equipment that meets specific technical and safety standards for exterior mechanical equipment areas.
Firms with experience in supplying equipment for government or embassy facilities, particularly for maintenance access, may find this opportunity a good fit.
