How to bid on PA-AEIF Summit Hotel accommodations and conference space for the State Department
What the State Department is buying
The U.S. Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia, plans to purchase hotel services for a three-day event scheduled for February 2027. This includes the rental of conference and meeting rooms, as well as accommodation services.
This is a Request for Information (RFI), meaning the official solicitation has not yet been issued. This is an opportunity for vendors to prepare for the upcoming bid.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on August 21, 2026. The deadline for responses is September 18, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET. This deadline is for the RFI, not the final solicitation.
The official solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov when it is ready. The government intends to award a fixed-price contract to the lowest-priced technically acceptable and responsible contractor. The award may be made based on initial offers without further discussion.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for hotels and hospitality service providers, particularly those with facilities in Tunisia. Firms specializing in event hosting, conference services, and accommodation for large groups would find this relevant.
The contract falls under the transportation category, likely due to its connection with travel and event logistics.

Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Since the government may award the contract based on initial offers without discussion, ensure your initial proposal is complete, accurate, and clearly demonstrates your technical acceptability and competitive pricing.
Thoroughly review all requirements once the official solicitation is released. Pay close attention to any specific facility needs, room capacities, and service standards. Clearly outline how your hotel meets or exceeds these requirements. Ensure your SAM registration is active and up-to-date well in advance of the solicitation deadline.
