Solicitation Amendment No. 001 to 19KS7026Q0043_Trash Removal Services.pdf

This is an Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract (Standard Form 30) for RFQ 19KS7026Q0043, issued by the General Services Office at the American Embassy in Seoul, Korea. The amendment modifies an existing contract (19KS7022C0005) for Trash and Garbage Removal Services at the US Embassy Seoul.

The amendment makes three substantive changes to the solicitation: (1) extends the offer due date from October 12, 2026 to October 16, 2026; (2) corrects the cover letter deadline to reflect October 16, 2026 instead of the previously stated November 12, 2026, 17:00 PM Korean Standard Time; and (3) provides answers to four contractor questions. Key clarifications in the Q&A include: new companies without two years of financial history may submit certified financial statements alongside documentation of sufficient financial resources; the source selection method is Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA); the current contract number is 19KS7022C0005; Allbaro System electronic waste tracking is not required as the Embassy qualifies as household waste; and joint ventures with a single Point of Contact are acceptable provided a JV agreement is submitted defining operational scopes and responsibility metrics. The amendment also provides detailed container dimensions for 2.5-ton, 4.5-ton, and 11-15 ton truck capacities, with the 11-ton containers not replaceable due to space limitations at the designated location. The contracting officer is identified as Tina Wong, signed October 2, 2026.
