About this file

This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) issued by the U.S. Space Force on August 18, 2026.

The amendment modifies solicitation FA461026Q0041, issued by FA4610 (30 CONS PK) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The primary changes include: (1) incorporation of FAR clause 52.228-15 regarding Performance and Payment Bonds-Construction; (2) updates to tax-related clauses 52.229-11 and 52.229-12 regarding Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, with both clauses updated to February 2026 versions and Deviation 2026-O0038; and (3) extension of the quote due date from August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST to August 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. PST to allow the government additional time to respond to requests for information. The solicitation number was updated from FA461026Q0041 to FA461026Q00410001. The amendment clarifies definitions of foreign persons and United States persons, establishes a 2 percent withholding tax on specified federal procurement payments to foreign persons, and requires offerors to submit IRS Form W-14 if claiming exemptions from this excise tax. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
