A15 Sole Source - Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Documentation form for a FAR Part 13 purchase order between $10,000-$250,000 for hotel rooms to accommodate participants of SIU Basic Course #123. The period of performance is January 11, 2025 to February 8, 2025, with the Comfort Inn Stafford selected as the sole source provider due to its strategic location 8.4 miles from the DEA Training Academy and 450ft from the Stafford Training Center.

The document includes market research showing that three local hotels were contacted on 12/11/2024, with only the Comfort Inn able to meet the requirement for 26 double occupancy rooms during the specified dates. The Comfort Inn was selected due to its proximity to training facilities, walking access to restaurants and shopping, and a daily rate below the per diem rate, resulting in cost savings for the government. The requirement is recurring, and the justification emphasizes the hotel's optimal location for student access to training facilities, particularly given recent changes to base accessibility requirements.
