SF 30 Amendment PA01 Solicitation 12639526Q0040 Apr 22 2026.pdf

This is a Standard Form 30 (SF 30) Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the USDA Acquisition and Asset Management Division (AAMD), Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services (MRPBS).

The amendment, numbered PA01 and effective April 22, 2026, modifies solicitation 12639526Q0040. The modification extends the due date for quotations to Monday, April 27, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) CDT to allow vendors time to acknowledge the amendment. The primary purpose of this amendment is to incorporate Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.222-90 "Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors" (April 2026) and to correct minimum qualifications for Key Personnel within the Peanut Standards Verification Services solicitation. The amendment replaces "Attachment 1 – Solicitation Terms and Conditions Peanut Standards Verification Services" in its entirety with an updated version that includes the new FAR clause in the "Other Applicable Clauses" section. Additionally, the amendment modifies the Contract Project Manager qualification requirement, reducing the required recent experience from seven years to five years within the past seven years, and specifying that this experience must be in the management and supervision of services of a similar nature to peanut verification services. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to proposal submission, and both new and replacement Project Managers must meet the revised qualification standards. No other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain changed.
