Intercontienalf Single-Source-Justification-Under-SAT-March 2026.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document from the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Procurement Executive, submitted on March 4, 2026, for an award to Hotel Intercontinental Geneva on a sole source basis.

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva is requesting lodging services at Hotel Intercontinental Geneva (Chemin du Petit Saconnex 7-9, 1209, Geneva, Switzerland) to support a DS/RSO delegation visit. The estimated contract value is $32,660.00 for the entire period of performance, including additional services. The hotel rate is CHF 305 per standard room per night with breakfast included. The justification cites urgency as the statutory authority for sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), noting that the visit was only confirmed in early March with travelers arriving within two weeks. The document states that only a limited set of hotels can provide necessary security accommodation within the required short lead time, and RSO Geneva specifically recommended Hotel Intercontinental. The contracting officer determined the pricing to be fair and reasonable after reviewing two alternative hotels—Hotel Ritz Carlton at CHF 450 per night (without breakfast) and Hotel Mandarin Oriental at CHF 350 per night (without breakfast)—both of which offered less competitive rates. The justification was signed by Jannick Bouteillon, Geneva Visitors Unit Specialist, and approved by Gavin T. Elliott, Contracting Officer and Supervisory General Services Officer.
