Generator for Honduras

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet these goals is to partner with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies. The International Narcotics Affairs Section (INL - U.S. Embassy, Honduras) requires the purchase and one-time installation of an Electric Generator in Choluteca, Choluteca, Honduras, as provided in the specifications attached.
