WJPC, Oct 03-22, 2017 SDP Course

The purpose of this Amendment 0001 is to post Questions and Answers:

Question 1. Clarification of Third Party Hotel or Venue Language

In the initial solicitation it states that you will only contract with the facility or venue proposed to hold the event. It states that any offer from a source other than a venue must include written evidence that the offeror is certified to submit a binding proposal on behalf of the property. It then returns back to stating that an offeror that renders a hotel as a third party that cannot be provided at the offerors facility will be deemed technically unacceptable.

(viii) The Government will not execute any contract other than with the facility or venue proposed to hold the event and provide accommodations. Any offer from a source other than the hotel or lodging venue itself must include written evidence that the offeror is currently authorized to submit binding proposals/quotes on behalf of the venue whose accommodations and/or facility are being offered. Offers that fail to provide such evidence shall be deemed technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award. Any offer which requires the Government to execute an agreement that renders a hotel or facility provider as a third party or for lodging/hotel accommodations that cannot be provided at offerors facility shall be deemed technically unacceptable and will not be considered for award.

Answer 1. A third party has to be appointed by the hotel to represent them.
