Prior to performing any services or delivering any products, please ensure that you have received an awarded procurement document (e.g. Purchase Order, Delivery/Task Order, etc.) duly signed by the Embassy General Services Office (GSO) Contracting Officer. The ordering document number would read something like 19TU1519P00xx.
The Embassy cannot pay for goods and services unless you have proof that it was ordered. Once you have received this document, and only then, your company is authorized to perform the services or deliver your product.

Scam Alert to Suppliers and Service Providers of U.S. Embassy Ankara

 

U.S. Embassy Ankara has received notices from vendors that are being contacted by fraudulent individuals who claim to be representatives of the U.S Government. The current scam requests quotes for electronic equipment.  This message is intended to inform vendors how to identify scams and to ensure that they are dealing with an accredited member of the U.S. Embassy Ankara’s procurement section when providing quotes and product.

Tips to detect fraudulent actors:

a) Emails from U.S. Embassy Ankara’s procurement staff will always be from an email address ending in .gov (i.e. smithj@state.gov) The U.S. Government does not send emails from any other accounts.

b) Solicitation requests from U.S. Embassy Ankara’s procurement staff will carbon copy (cc) Ankara-GSO-Procurement-DL@state.gov.  This is the Embassy’s official email for procurement related inquiries.

c) Procurement staff at the U.S. Embassy will never request that you supply goods or services without a purchase order.  They will also never request a fee or ask you to deposit money into an account.

The U.S. Government is not liable for fraudulent transactions by individuals posing as its representatives. Should you suspect that you are a victim of a scam, or to verify you are corresponding with legitimate representatives, please email Ankara-GSO-Procurement-DL@state.gov.
