About this file

This is a Standard Form 30 Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the U.S. Embassy in Tirana, Albania (GSO/Procurement TIRANA) on June 5, 2026.

The amendment (0001) modifies Solicitation #19AL6026R0001, dated May 8, 2026, for health insurance and group life insurance services. The modification implements four primary changes: (1) corrects a typographical error in Section C.1.1.9 regarding hearing aid apparatus maximum coverage, changing the currency designation from USD to ALL (Albanian Lek) with a specified maximum of ALL 121,425 per covered individual per three-year period; (2) adds FAR Clause 52.228-3 (Workers' Compensation Insurance – Defense Base Act) to Section I (Contract Clauses); (3) incorporates Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance requirements throughout Section B (Pricing) and Section L (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors); and (4) extends the deadline for receipt of offers from the original date to June 18, 2026, at 16:30 Local Time (Tirana). The offeror must include DBA insurance premium costs covering all employees working on the contract, including American citizens, U.S.-hired individuals regardless of citizenship, Host Country Nationals, and Third Country Nationals working overseas, with insurance to be obtained directly from Department of Labor-approved providers. The pricing tables for both the health insurance base year and all option years, as well as group life insurance pricing across multiple contract periods, have been updated to include separate line items for DBA insurance costs and totals including DBA. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
