PR16354857 - Limited Competition Justification and Award Notice Outbound Shipments
This notice documents a limited-competition award for outbound shipping services driven by regional instability that has made standard routes unreliable or unavailable, including around the Strait of Hormuz. Competition was restricted to three qualified vendors capable of meeting urgent operational, routing, and delivery requirements. Quotations were evaluated on technical capability, scope compliance, urgent logistics capability, past performance, and price reasonableness. The selected contractor was the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer at $33,248 USD and has relevant past performance supporting U.S. Embassy Kuwait requirements. The award supports uninterrupted mission operations under current security and logistics constraints.
