The U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura, Burundi, is seeking the services of a qualified fuel system contractor to supply, install, and commission a comprehensive fuel tank level monitoring and control system for two containerized generators located on its premises. This solicitation, identified by procurement number 19BY7026Q0005, represents a critical infrastructure enhancement aimed at improving the operational reliability and safety of the Embassy’s backup power systems.
Currently, each generator is equipped with a day tank of approximately 1,800 liters capacity, which is refueled from bulk tanks via a fuel bowser. However, there is presently no automated system in place to monitor or control the filling of these tanks, which poses risks of overfilling, fuel wastage, and potential operational interruptions. The Embassy’s objective is to implement a modern level sensing and control solution that will automate the refueling process, ensuring precise and safe fuel management.
The scope of work requires the contractor to assess the existing fuel transfer setup, which utilizes pumps located at the Utility Building day tanks, and determine whether these can be integrated into the new system or if new pump systems are necessary. The contractor will be responsible for supplying all required equipment, installing the level sensors and control systems, and commissioning the solution to full operational status. The deliverables must include a fully functional monitoring and control system that provides real-time tank level data and automates the filling process, thereby enhancing both safety and efficiency.
This procurement is classified under Product Service Code N029 (Installation of Equipment – Fuel Dispensing Equipment), and there are no set-aside requirements, making it open to all qualified vendors. The place of performance is Bujumbura, Burundi (country code BDI).
The contracting entity is the U.S. Embassy Bujumbura, operating under the U.S. Department of State. Interested parties may direct inquiries to the Bujumbura Procurement Section via email at [email protected] or by phone at +257 2220 7006.
The solicitation was posted on March 24, 2026, and responses are due by April 22, 2026. The opportunity is currently active and further details, including attachments, can be accessed through the official SAM.gov listing at https://sam.gov/opp/3b1b4a1f82ac468aafc16c7db111c386/view.
Contractors considering this opportunity should have demonstrated expertise in fuel system automation, sensor integration, and commissioning of control systems for generator applications. The Embassy seeks a reliable partner capable of delivering a robust, long-term solution that will remain effective throughout the contract lifecycle.
