About this file
This is a Standard Form 30 (SF-30) Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract issued by the Department of State, United States Embassy Buenos Aires Procurement Unit on May 5, 2026, for solicitation 19AR2026Q0008.
The amendment modifies four key sections of the original solicitation. The Period of Performance establishes a one-year base contract from the award date with one one-year option to renew. The Pricing section details a single indefinite quantity contract for cellular telecommunications services in Argentina under NAICS Code 517112. Value Added Tax (VAT) of 21% is charged separately and applies to CLINs 1, 2, and 3. The base year (CLIN 0001) pricing includes three subscription plans: Plan A (3,800 lines at 30GB minimum with 10,000 local minutes and 6,000 SMS), Plan B (1,400 lines at 60GB minimum with equivalent minutes/SMS), and Plan C (200 lines at 30GB data-only). Additional services include an Additional 1GB pack for 36 units, International Calls capped as a not-to-exceed amount, and International Roaming as a not-to-exceed amount. The government commits to placing minimum orders of ARS 40,000,000.00 with a maximum cap of ARS 500,000,000.00 for the base year. Option Year 1 (CLIN 1001) reflects identical service quantities with minimum orders of ARS 50,000,000.00 and maximum of ARS 600,000,000.00. An additional 6-month extension option (CLIN 4001) under FAR 52.217-8 is included for price evaluation purposes only. The Option to Extend clause (FAR 52.217-9) limits total contract duration to two years maximum. Evaluation will be conducted using FAR 13 Comparative Evaluation. The amendment requires offerors to acknowledge receipt prior to the deadline or risk rejection.
