About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent for a sole source extension of a gardening services contract for the US Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia. The contract (Number 19TS8020D0002) will be extended to Ste.

The notice allows potential alternative vendors to submit evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement by December 20th, 2025, at 4 PM local time. The point of contact is Autumn Muller, Contracting Officer at the American Embassy Tunis, who can be reached at +216-71-107-449 or MullerAA@state.gov.
