Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)

The U.S. Department of State seeks to prequalify U.S. small businesses for an IDIQ contract to produce and supply exclusive, high-quality lead-free crystal glassware for embassies worldwide. The contract has a total ceiling of $1.5 million over one base year plus four option years, with a guaranteed minimum of $10,000. Performance requires a U.S.-based manufacturing facility, as the contractor must use government-provided designs to produce 16 specific glassware patterns entirely in the United States. The pre-qualification process involves submitting a detailed package, including product samples, for evaluation, with successful firms later invited to submit a formal proposal.
