d. Section 00 73 00 Special Contract Requirements: The following Compliance with 2% federal excise tax section has been added.

K. COMPLIANCE WITH TWO (2) PERCENT FEDERAL EXCISE TAX

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in Section 00 45 00 and 00 72 00 of the solicitation and resultant contract. This provision and clause concern the imposition of a two

(2) percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. Contractor should read the provision and clause fully to understand how this may apply to them.

Note: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Transatlantic Middle East District (TAM) does not have the means of withholding the excise tax at this time. As a result, contractors are expected to comply with the instructions and to properly complete and return the W-14 at proposal submission, and with each pay application. The amount due for each withholding will be confirmed by USACE, BUT WILL NOT BE WITHHELD. It is the contractor’s responsibility to calculate this tax liability and remit payment, or set aside for future payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Whether the contractor makes immediate payment, or sets aside monies for future payment to the IRS, is the contractor’s discretion, based on its analysis of the regulations regarding the excise tax. In the future event that USACE is able to withhold the excise tax during contract performance, it will notify the contractor and make such a withholding; no advance notice is required prior to the withholding. Under no circumstances is USACE liable for any excise tax liability not paid by the contractor. The contractor is liable for the tax, to the extent required by law, regardless of whether USACE makes a withholding.

4. Section 00 21 00 Section II - Solicitation Provisions, C PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

The proposal due date is not affected by this amendment and it is still due not later than October 8th, 2021 by 4:00PM Eastern Daylight Time.
