4th Contracting Squadron

Great Wolf Lodge

Contractor to provide 24 lodging rooms with on-site conference space to support Resiliency-led effort to involve training, child care, meal services and recreational activities. This should also include an indoor/outdoor water park for families for two nights within 210 miles of Seymour Johnson AFB. Facilities must be available 24-26 Aug 2018.

The retreat must be scheduled prior to Wayne County schools getting back into session to provide optimum opportunity for service members and their families to reconnect. Therefore, this must occur no later than the weekend of 24 Aug 2018. The facility must be located within 210 miles from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and meet all the requirements listed in the Statement of Work. The Great Wolf Lodge is the only vendor within the required driving distance capable of meeting required dates that can also meet the other minimum requirements in the Statement of Work

The Resiliency office performed extensive market research and determined that the only venue available is with The Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC. Market research was conducted using hotel and lodging websites (e.g. expedia, kayak, hotwire) on 1 June 2018 revealed no available lodging and event venues capable of meeting the minimum requirements of the 4th FW Resiliency Office. Specifically, most venues were booked for the required weekend or could not accommodate the requirement needs. Additional calls were made to The Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg VA and to Rockfish Retreat Center in Parkton NC on 1 June 2018 to confirm unavailability

Additional market research will be performed and greater lead time will be given on all future requirements to ensure competition to the maximum extent possible.
