Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Work in Cambodia: local licenses, clearance and labor law. Vehicles and drivers must be licensed in Cambodia, you must be cleared to work there unescorted at your own cost, and the contract cites compliance with overseas local labor laws. A business with no Cambodian operation or partner may struggle to meet this.
- Serious: Defense Base Act insurance estimate required with the quote. A quote without a DBA insurance estimate can be rejected as non-responsive, and the cost is built into your price with no change after award. One section says the estimate can come with the offer or before award, another says it must be in the quote.
- Worth checking: Funds not yet available. The Government's obligation depends on appropriated funds, and no payment can be owed until funds are made available and the contracting officer confirms it in writing.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: Government can change or cancel at short notice. The Government may change, modify or cancel the whole requirement at no penalty within 48 hours of the start of the period of performance, and quantities and dates may change with the exercise.
- Worth checking: Prices in U.S. dollars, no taxes, no price changes. Quotes must be in U.S. dollars, without taxes or contingencies, with fuel, tolls and fees built in; there is no price adjustment for DBA insurance after award.
- Minor: Conflicting statements on options. The evaluation provision says there are no options, but the price table lists two optional cultural event day lines and the PWS describes a cultural event option. The dates are only estimated and confirmed later.
- Minor: Long driver days, night work and fast response times. Drivers may work 12-hour days with possible night operations, vehicles must be available within 24 hours of a request, disabled vehicles must be recovered within 24 hours, and equipment must be ready by 1200 on the first day.
- Minor: Seat counts in the PWS are inconsistent. The PWS heading says 40 passenger bus but requires a minimum of 45 seats elsewhere in the same line, and the van line mixes seven and nine; check the seat counts with the contracting officer.
