Solicitation Cancellation of Catering Services

The solicitation for catering services under number 19SA7026Q0006 was canceled for the convenience of the U.S. Government through Amendment 0001, issued by the U.S. Embassy Riyadh under the Department of State. The cancellation notice, dated May 7, 2026, and effective July 5, 2026, formally terminated all further procurement activity under this solicitation, with no contract awarded or performance initiated. The original response deadline was May 21, 2026, and no pricing, specifications, delivery schedules, or performance requirements were finalized prior to cancellation. The contracting office, located in Washington, D.C., with operational responsibility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, maintained contact through the email RiyadhContracting@state.gov and required offerors to acknowledge receipt of the cancellation via signed amendment return, written acknowledgment on submitted offers, or telegraphic confirmation. No set-aside was used, and no socioeconomic, small business, or other status certifications were collected or required. No clauses, evaluation factors, inspection standards, packaging requirements, or accounting data were populated in the solicitation documents, as the process was halted before reaching those stages. The amendment did not establish new contractual obligations, nor did it specify place of performance, FOB terms, invoicing methods, or point of contact roles beyond the contracting officer. All submissions were expected through physical mail or telegram, with no electronic portal referenced. The cancellation followed FAR 14.209 and 43.103(b), confirming administrative compliance, but no substantive work, pricing, or deliverables were ever defined or agreed upon.
