Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Serious: Defense Base Act insurance estimate required with the quote. A quote without a DBA estimate from an authorized carrier may be rejected, and the cost must be built into your price with no later adjustment.
- Serious: Cambodian licenses and utility authorization needed. Waste licenses and Electricity of Cambodia authorization for the transformer are part of the evaluation, so a U.S. small business may need a local partner.
- Serious: Work is outside the United States. Staff must be allowed to work in Cambodia and meet Cambodian safety and environmental laws. The documents set no local-office requirement.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: Prices exclude taxes and contingencies. Quotes are in U.S. dollars without taxes or contingencies, so Cambodian taxes and cost risks must be handled under the foreign-tax clauses rather than priced in.
- Worth checking: Funds are not presently available. The Government has no legal liability to pay until funds are made available and the contractor is notified.
- Worth checking: Scope can change after award. Periods, quantities and services may change, and the Government can cancel within 48 hours of the start of performance with no penalty.
- Minor: Questions due November 6, 2026. Questions go by email to the two named contacts by November 6, 2026, 1:00 PM Hawaii Standard Time.
- Minor: 24-hour repair and four-hour emergency response. Deficiencies must be fixed within 24 hours and emergencies answered within four hours of notice from the contracting officer's representative (COR) or contracting officer.
