AMENDMENT 0002_19RP3825Q0008.pdf

This is Amendment 0002 to solicitation 19RP3825Q0008 for cellphone services at the U.S. Embassy Manila, Philippines. The amendment, issued by the Contracting & Procurement General Services Office at the American Embassy Manila, makes two key changes: (1) It requires contractors to certify compliance with Executive Order 14173 regarding anti-discrimination laws and merit-based opportunity, and (2) extends the proposal submission deadline to February 18, 2025 at 4:30 PM Philippine time.

The amendment includes a new certification form (Attachment 2) that contractors must complete confirming they do not operate any programs promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that violate federal anti-discrimination laws. Contractors must certify their compliance is material to government payment decisions under section 3729(b)(4) of title 31, USC. The amendment revises the solicitation table of contents and pages 16-A, 43-A and 44 to incorporate these new certification requirements. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
