About this file
This is a Retreat Statement of Work (SOW) for a Strong Bond Marriage Retreat sponsored by the Air Force Chaplain Corps at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
The contractor must secure lodging and coordinate a three-day retreat (Friday through Sunday) for 90 attendees consisting of 60 active-duty married couples and 30 children. The primary target date is August 14-16, 2026, with three alternate date windows in August and September 2026. The facility must be located within 50 minutes' drive of Nellis Air Force Base and within safe walking distance of local restaurants. The contractor shall provide 30 double-occupancy hotel rooms with late checkout accommodation (1:30 PM to 2:00 PM Sunday). Two conference spaces are required: a main adult instruction room seating 60 people with audio/visual capability available Friday 4:00-8:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, and Sunday 7:30 AM-12:00 PM; and a dedicated children's activity room accommodating 30 children with internet/computer access, display screen, and refreshment station, available Saturday 9:00 AM-5:00 PM and Sunday 8:00 AM-12:00 PM. The contractor must provide six buffet-style meals for 90 attendees (Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast/lunch/dinner, Sunday breakfast/lunch) with strict prohibition on alcoholic beverages. Two mandatory group activities must be coordinated and included in the bid: a Saturday guided kayaking excursion with all equipment, personal flotation devices, certified guides, and transportation if needed; and a Sunday organized golf outing for approximately 20 adults including green fees, consecutive tee times, club and cart rentals, and transportation if required.
The contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed-Price agreement based on 90 attendees, with the price remaining fixed regardless of lower actual attendance due to room block commitments. Final participant confirmation will be provided five calendar days prior to retreat start, representing the official invoicing figure. If supplementary attendees or rooms are requested after the five-day deadline, the contractor must accommodate based on availability, with the Government paying only the direct cost increase while the base quote remains fixed.

8. CONTRACT & INVOICING TERMS (DEFINITIVE SCHEDULE)
Participant Confirmation: The Government will provide the contractor with a finalized headcount of participants exactly five (5) calendar days prior to the retreat start date. The participant count submitted at this milestone will represent the official invoicing figure.
Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) Mechanism: This contract will be awarded as a Firm Fixed-Price agreement. Because of the room blocks and coordination required to secure a group booking of this scale, the contract price will not adjust downward if the actual guest turnout is lower than the 90 attendees specified in this SOW.
Add-On Policy: In the event that supplementary attendees or rooms are requested by the
Government after the five-day confirmation deadline, the contractor shall accommodate the additional needs based on room and catering availability. The Government will be financially responsible for the direct cost increase associated exclusively with these late add-ons; the base quote for the original requirement shall remain fixed.
