About this file

This is Amendment 0001 to solicitation 19GT5025Q0012 issued by the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City for Diplomatic Mail Handling Services. The amendment, effective February 25, 2025, requires contractors to provide certification regarding compliance with Executive Order 14173 on Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

The amendment adds a new certification requirement where contractors must confirm they are in compliance with applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws and do not operate any Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that violate these laws. Contractors must complete and return a certification form acknowledging these requirements, which is material to the government's payment decisions under the False Claims Act. The amendment does not extend the original proposal due date established in the February 7, 2025 solicitation.
