This is Amendment 0002 to Solicitation No. 191Z2525R0002 issued by the U.S. Consulate General in Erbil, Iraq. The amendment makes four key changes: (1) extends the solicitation closing date from February 23, 2025 at 17:00 local time to March 27, 2025 at 17:00 local time, (2) reestablishes the question submission deadline to March 10, 2025 at 17:00 local time, (3) requires contractor certification regarding compliance with Executive Order 14173 "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity", and (4) incorporates new certification requirements regarding Federal anti-discrimination laws.

The amendment adds language requiring contractors to certify they comply with applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws and do not operate programs promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that violate these laws. Contractors must submit a signed certification statement confirming compliance with anti-discrimination laws and Executive Order 14173 along with their proposal. The amendment includes an attached certification document that must be completed. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.
