Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 22, 2026.
- Worth checking: Work and delivery in Belgium. The notice does not say whether a local entity, office, licenses, Belgian taxes (such as VAT) or a required currency apply; a U.S. small business should ask.
- Worth checking: Sites, tasks and quantities are in the attached package. The notice text does not describe the sewer systems or the work, so you cannot judge fit or price without the package.
- Minor: SAM registration and NCAGE code take setup but cost nothing. If you have no NCAGE code, you must get one before registering in SAM; both are free. Check a SAM.gov registration.

- Minor: Agreement carries no financial commitment. A BPA does not guarantee any orders; work comes only when the embassy requests it.
