Things to watch (10)
- Serious: Must already be registered to do business in Türkiye. The notice says the contractor and its disposal facilities and transporters should already be registered in Türkiye, which a U.S. small business without a Turkish presence may find hard to meet.
- Serious: Past performance Volume II required from every bidder. Past performance counts far more than price, and a bidder that leaves Volume II out may be treated as non-responsive and excluded.
- Worth checking: References must send their own questionnaires before the response due date. Your references must return the past performance questionnaire to the contracting officer themselves; questionnaires from you or received late are not counted.
Show all 10Show fewer
- Worth checking: Signed amendment acknowledgment required. Amendments 0001 through 0003 must be acknowledged with a signed sheet returned with the offer, or the offer could be rejected.
- Worth checking: Work starts no later than November 23, 2026. The contract is to start no later than November 23, 2026. The registration guide for Türkiye advises contracting officers to allow at least 90 days between award and start; ask the contracting officer how these fit.
- Worth checking: Turkish visa, work permit, labor and tax rules apply to the contractor. The registration guide says contractors must follow Turkish rules on visas, work and residence permits, local hiring and tax registration, and that the contractor is responsible for compliance.
- Worth checking: One price per line; zero prices not accepted. Quoting a range, split price or $0.00 for any line is treated as a nonconforming offer and excluded. Unbalanced option prices can also make an offer unacceptable.
- Minor: Offers go by email with a 5 MB limit per message. Blocked or damaged emails are treated as unreadable, and bidders are told to confirm receipt with the contracting officer.
- Minor: U.S. tax on payments to foreign firms. A 2 percent tax is withheld from payments to a foreign (non-U.S.) person unless an exemption is claimed. A U.S. firm marks itself as not a foreign person.
- Minor: Orders as needed; quantities are estimates. The contract is indefinite-quantity, so the Government only has to order the stated minimum, and the order-limit clause sets a minimum order and per-order maximums.
