AMENDMENT AND ANSWERS OF SOLICITATION SIGNED.pdf

This file is an amendment and Q&A document for solicitation #19RC1124Q0001 for ground handling services at the American Embassy in Amman, Jordan. The amendment extends the bid submission deadline to December 8, 2024 at 16:00 Amman-Jordan local time.

The Q&A portion clarifies requirements for aircraft handling services, which include baggage handling, passenger boarding/disembarking, aircraft refueling, marshalling, positioning, and de-icing for approximately 300 aircraft per year. Key clarifications include: basic services must be priced separately from incidental charges; on-ground time is typically less than two hours per aircraft; contractors must submit monthly invoices in U.S. dollars; and all licenses, permits and operations must be under the prime contractor's name, with no third-party contractors allowed for core operations. The contractor will be responsible for assisting passengers with transfer flights at QAIA airport from Baghdad flights only. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, though price adjustments may be considered if mandated by Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission changes.
