This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Form SF30) issued by the U.S. Embassy Harare in Zimbabwe, with amendment number P00001 effective February 25, 2025. The document incorporates Executive Order 14173 regarding "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity."

The amendment requires contractors to certify two key items: 1) That they are not in violation of Executive Order 14173 Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, and 2) That they comply with applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws as outlined in Section G of the solicitation. The document includes a certification form where contractors must affirm they do not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate anti-discrimination laws and are in compliance with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, which is material to payment decisions under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4)). The amendment requires one signed copy to be returned to the issuing office, with Roderick Byrd listed as the Contracting Officer.
