1. PURPOSE: This SOW delineates the tasks required for lodging services for the Defense Institute of International Legal Studies. The period of performance will be 21 – 25 October 2015 per table 1 below.

2. BACKGROUND: The Defense Institute of International Legal Studies (DIILS) is responsible for managing; directing and performing Security Assistance Training (SAT) in U.S. and overseas locations in support of legally related Security Assistance missions and U.S. foreign policy.

4. APPROACH: The contractor shall provide each lodger (DIILS participant or DIILS Staff) with room accommodations on the nights listed table 1 above.

To accommodate reasonable walking distance for participants and guest speakers from UN Headquarters and UN Missions the hotel must be located on or between 42 and 50th streets and on or between Lexington Avenue and First Avenue. The hotel should be no more than .6 miles walking distance from the United Nations located at the corner of First Avenue at 47th Street New York, NY 10017. A hotel within walking distance as defined above is needed to accommodate the tight schedules of guest speakers and to avoid the untenable logistics burdens that driving distance would place on the relatively small staff to student mix for such visits.

All participant rooms must be of a similar size and type (e.g. all studio suites or all one-bedrooms).

The hotel must have an arrival area that can accommodate a large motor coach (50 passenger or more) for drop-off, pick up, and short term parking (at least 30 minutes.) Additionally the hotel including the arrival area must be handicap accessible.

A DIILS Staff member will arrive at least two hours ahead of the participants and other DIILS staff to facilitate advance check in and distribution of room keys to participants. Hotel staff will provide the DIILS staff member facilitating advance check in with room keys for distribution to LCT participants upon their arrival.

A single invoice for all deliverables under this contract will be presented to the DIILS COR after the completion of the contact. Payment will be made via the U.S. Government Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) web site except for guests identified as “self-pay” who will make payment individually with a credit card. .
