- The United States Department of State (DOS) has a requirement for a qualified Contractor to provide local guard services at the American Embassy Brasilia, Brazil and the Consulates in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and the Foreign Commercial Office in Belo Horizonte. The Embassy/Consulates requires a secure environment to conduct their mission. The Contractor shall provide the organizational structure, management, and qualified staff at levels adequate to meet or exceed the requirement contained in this PWS. The Contractor shall be required to provide services in a manner that prevent loss or injury to U.S. personnel, dependents, property; destruction of assets; to prevent unauthorized access; and deter potential terrorist attacks. Anticipated period of performance is one base year and four one-year options. The Contractor shall be required to adhere to all local labor laws. All contracted personnel, regardless of nationality, will be required to pass a background investigation conducted by the Contractor and a separate background investigation conducted by the U.S. Government to certify their suitability for employment under this contract. The Project Manager must possess a Level 3 language proficiency, which requires an ability to speak English with sufficient structural accuracy and vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social, and professional topics. The Government plans to post the solicitation in this site on or about December 15, 2009. No paper copies will be mailed. The approximate acquisition schedule is as follows: the synopsis will be posted for approximately fourteen (14) days.

The contract will be awarded within approximately forty five (45) days after proposal submission. All dates are subject to change. Offerors will be notified. The Question and Answer (Q&A) period opens with the posting of the synopsis. Offerors may inquire about security risks by specific countries during this period. The solicitation, when finalized, will be available on the Internet at www.fedbizopps.gov. All announcements and amendments made to the solicitation will be posted at www.fedbizopps.gov.

PHONE CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. In accordance with 22 U.S.C. § 4864, the Government will give preference to offerors qualifying as U.S. persons or U.S. Joint Venture Persons.
