United Nations Procurement Division (UNPD) will shortly be issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a contract with a qualified vendor to supply On-call moving services for the United Nations Headquarters facilities and other leased premises totaling over 1.75 million square feet in New York CIty. The UN Facilities and Commercial Activities Service (FCAS) has daily requirements to move furniture, materials and equipment of staff within its premises. The successful bidder will be required to carry out multiple work orders on a daily basis. Day-to-day moving service requirements can range from moving a chair to moving the contents of a few offices, using between two and four workers during an eight-hour shift. Larger scale/major moves (occuring a few times per year) will also be instructed . These typically involve moving 80+ staff over a period of 1-2 days. There will also be special events that require transport of equipment for set-up and dismantling several times a year. It is anticipated that in the period 2025-2028 there will be 3,000-4,000 staff moves within UNHQ premises. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: In response to the RFP document (to be issued at a later date), vendors will be expected to demonstrate: 1. A minimum of seven (7) years of experience in commercial moving, including evidence of current state licensing/registration as a commercial mover. 2. Local physical presence or representation to enable prompt response time and accessibility for urgent project requirements. This is likely to be NYC/Tri-state vicinity but, in any case, able to demonstrate a 2-hour maximum response time to a UN request for service.
