A15 Sole Source_Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Documentation form for a purchase order between $10,000-$250,000, documenting the justification for sole-source procurement of hotel rooms at the Comfort Inn Stafford for Drug Unit Commander's Academy #84 attendees. The period of performance is March 30, 2025 - April 11, 2025, and this is identified as a recurring requirement.

The justification explains that the Comfort Inn Stafford is uniquely suitable due to its location 8.4 miles from the DEA Training Academy and 450 ft from the Stafford Training Center, making it one of the closest hotels to either campus. The hotel's central location provides walking access to restaurants, urgent care facilities, and other amenities, while other hotels are located 9.5-12 miles away on Route 1 without safe walking access. Market research indicates that three other hotels were contacted but the Comfort Inn offered the lowest room rates and best accessibility. The document was issued in November 2022 and supports the determination that only one source (Comfort Inn Stafford) can reasonably meet the government's requirements for this procurement.
