This procurement is being conducted in accordance with the statutory authority of FAR 6.302-2 for unusual and compelling urgency. The US Embassy in Tunis intended to solicit a new Contract, however due to unforeseen circumstances, we were not able to complete the solicitation process by the required date. Therefore, an extension was necessary to continue with the services without any interruption while working on the new Solicitation especially that gardening and landscaping often require continuity during summer season to ensure proper care and maintenance and ensuring that the seasonal tasks like planting, irrigation and pest control are completed on time. Sté. Yasmine Garden has consistently demonstrated during the last five years excellent performance exceeding expectations in maintaining the grounds to a high standard.
