45--PRPA VICTOR STANLEY TRASH RECEPTACLES

Amendment / Modification

This amendment (0001) to solicitation 140P3026Q0010, dated 04/29/2026, provides clarifications regarding the Buy American Act and confirms installation is not part of the requirement.

Key points include:

• Buy American Act Application: The solicitation and provision 52.225-2 (Buy American Certificate) will use the DOI class deviation versions. The Israeli Trade Act threshold of $50,000 is not met, so 52.225-3 and its alternates do not apply. COTS status does not exempt these clauses. The "domestic end product" evaluation is modified for COTS items, waiving the component test but retaining the "manufactured in the United States" prong. However, products predominantly made of iron or steel (e.g., a steel trash can) must still meet the 95% domestic iron-and-steel content rule. Offerors must affirm iron/steel content on the 225-2 certificate.
• Installation: Installation of the item will be completed by the park, and is not part of this requirement.
• Correct Model: The correct model for this solicitation is the SD-42 side door receptacle.

This amendment addresses questions related to the Buy American Act clauses (FAR 52.225-1 and 52.225-2, DOI deviation versions) and clarifies the scope of work regarding installation.

No changes to proposal deadlines or submission requirements are indicated, beyond acknowledging the clarifications provided.
