Plumbing Supplies

The U.S. Embassy London has requirements for plumbing material supplies and intends to award Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) to one or more responsible vendors. A BPA is similar to a credit account established with vendors under which numerous orders may be issued. It establishes no contractual obligation until an order is issued and a delivery is made. BPAs will be in effect for a period of five years upon award or until the determined maximum amount has been spent, whichever occurs first.

Please note that the award of a BPA does not guarantee any quantity of business and that the Government may choose to award BPAs to more than one vendor and rotate business. The vendor shall provide plumbing materials supplies such as home bathroom fixtures, home kitchen fixtures, residential plumbing supplies and commercial plumbing supplies. It is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure they comply with all current applicable industry standards for Health and Safety.

Embassy staff need to be able to pick up supplies in person, so the vendor’s location must be within a 5-mile radius of the US Embassy, London at 33 Nine Elms Lane, London, SW11 7US. Interested vendors should provide their company information, range of product offerings and pricing and any other information that would enable the requesting office to determine whether a BPA would be suitable.

Vendors should also advise any delivery fees or other additional charges, as well as stating whether and where VAT will be applicable. Please submit this information to LondonProc@state.gov by 17:00 BST on June 7, 2024. All contractors must be registered in the SAM (System for Award Management) database at https://www.sam.gov prior to submitting an offer pursuant to FAR 52.204-7. Vendors should provide their SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number with their submission. Please see the attachment Registering in SAM Instructions for more information.
