Under attachment “191NLE22Q0018_Cellular_Service_in_Panama.pdf” for the buy No. 1093130 in page 05 F-007 - PLACE OF PERFORMANCE it states the following: The principal place of performance for this contract shall be Tegucigalpa, Honduras. But the SOW states in Page 5 the following “ The INL - Panama, has a requirement for a contract for Cellphone Service for INL Panama Programs in support of the GoP (Government of Panama). This initiative is aimed to improve security by supporting host nation communication service capabilities for law enforcement efforts to counter trafficking, contraband, human smuggling, illicit drug activities, weapons trade, border criminal activities, and overall transnational crime.” This is important to be clarified since in the SOW also states the following: VALUE ADDED TAX. Value Added Tax (VAT) is not applicable to this contract and shall not be included in the CLIN rates or Invoices because the U.S. Embassy has a tax exemption certificate from the host government. The Contractor must confirm that is able to charge a tax exempted-monthly price since the Government of Panama has granted the resolution to the U. S. Embassy in Panama City to acquire goods and services exempted from the value added tax. In order to get a Tax Exemption with strong alliances with most of the mayor U.S. carriers be clear that services primary will be provided in the Republic of Panama.

The services will be provided in the Republic of Panama, for the Government of Panama only, not Tegucigalpa Honduras.
