This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Amendment A001) issued by the American Embassy in Quito, Ecuador, effective September 08, 2026. The amendment modifies a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under requisition number PR16136740, with the contract administered by the embassy.

The amendment makes several substantive changes to the original RFQ solicitation. The quotation due date has been extended to no later than September 16, 2026, at 17:00 local Ecuador time, with all quotations to be submitted in English and no quotations accepted after the deadline. Standard Form 1449 (SF-1449) is now provided as part of the amendment and must be completed and submitted per solicitation requirements. The General Experience requirement (Section 5.2 of the Statement of Work) has been deleted and replaced with revised language requiring vendors to demonstrate prior experience in Ecuador developing technical diagnostic assessments for law enforcement (covering border security, energy security, and criminal justice) and organized crime institutional capacity, with at least three contracts, purchase orders, or similar documents for comparable projects; alternatively, vendors may present experience of high-level police officers or civil personnel working in these areas as team members. Additionally, FAR 52.212-5(b) regarding Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders has been marked as applicable, with specific reference to FAR 52.209-9 concerning protections of the government's interest when subcontracting with debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment contractors. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. The contracting officer is Matthew Madden.
