How to bid on PPE for a Clan Lab Team from the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo
What the U.S. Embassy is buying
The U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is seeking a vendor to supply personal protective equipment (PPE) for a clandestine laboratory team. This includes 22 SCBA systems, 22 gas masks, 22 clear shield assemblies, 30 chemical-resistant gloves, 20 Level A suits, 10 voice projection units, an air and oxygen fill station, and a portable Level A decontamination shower pool.
This is an opportunity for businesses that can supply specialized safety and hazmat equipment. The embassy requires all items to be new, in original packaging, and sourced from manufacturer-approved channels.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The solicitation was published on July 30, 2026. All quotations must be submitted by email no later than August 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM local time (Santo Domingo). This is 4:15 PM ET.
Quotes received after this deadline will not be considered. The government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to the responsible offeror with the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for suppliers of personal protective equipment, safety gear, and hazardous materials response equipment. Vendors should have established supply chains for brands like Avon, SHOWA, and Dupont, or similar quality products, and be authorized to supply and export these items.
The solicitation is under the education category, indicating its use for training or operational readiness for specialized teams. Firms with experience in government contracting, particularly with embassies or international organizations, may find this a good fit.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit your quotation in English via email to [email protected]. The email subject line must be marked RFQ# PR16143621. Your quote must be valid for 60 days from the closing date.
Your quotation needs to include pricing for all identified items, product literature and data sheets for each item, evidence of authorization to supply and export, warranty information, and a stated delivery time in calendar days. All items must be new. This is an 'all or none' solicitation, meaning you must quote on all items.
Practical tips for a competitive response
Ensure your quote covers all listed items, as this is an 'all or none' solicitation. Clearly identify any open market items and confirm they comply with FAR 8.402(f) and do not exceed $3,000.00.
Provide comprehensive product literature and data sheets for every item to demonstrate technical capability. Double-check that all required documentation, such as proof of authorized supply and export, is included. State your delivery time clearly and confirm your warranty details. Since the award will go to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer, ensure your pricing is competitive while still meeting all technical specifications.
