Guatemala - SUV Vehicle

Amendment / Modification

This amendment modifies the solicitation to incorporate changes in the Project Deliverables. Specifically, it instructs to delete the "gas or diesel" specification next to the cylinder requirement for the vehicle.

• Project Deliverables section, specifically the "Engine Fuel type" requirement.

This amendment does not appear to change proposal deadlines or submission requirements, but bidders should ensure their proposals reflect the updated vehicle specifications.
