AWARD SYNOPSIS_MY2026 C-Segment Compact Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) - U.S. Embassy Ankara, T rkiye

The U.S. Embassy Ankara required the supply and Category 3 release-ready handover of three (3) brand-new, factory-produced MY2026 or newer C-segment compact sport utility vehicles (SUVs) for official all-weather transportation and mission-support use. The RFQ described the requirement through brand-neutral salient characteristics and did not require a specific make or model. The awarded product is the technically accepted configuration proposed by Baytur: three MY2026 Subaru Forester 2.0i Mild Hybrid Style vehicles, T rkiye/EU-market, left-hand drive, automatic, all-wheel drive, with manufacturer-backed in-country warranty and authorized Subaru service and parts support. Award was made under the RFQ's Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method. Technical acceptability was pass/fail. No tradeoff, best-technical ranking, or extra credit for exceeding minimum requirements was applied. The Contracting Officer retained price evaluation, responsibility determination, and final award authority. This award synopsis was prepared for SAM.gov/FPDS award-abstract support and contract-file transparency. The underlying decision was based on the RFQ, the final TEP report, the Contracting Officer's price and responsibility determinations, and the simplified acquisition/LPTA framework. Proprietary quotation content and individual unsuccessful-quoter findings remain in the acquisition file.
