PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

A.1 Background: The Western Recruiting Region Headquarters, located aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, regularly hosts Educator Workshops with the goal of providing educators firsthand knowledge of Marine Corps recruit training, job skills and opportunities, and educational benefits available to Marines. The program is specifically designed to impress upon educators the continuing need to recruit highly qualified, motivated young men and women. To that end, specific lodging requirements must be met to support the educator workshops of calendar years 2025 through 2029.

A.2 Scope of Work and General Tasks: This procurement is being conducted under the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulations FAR Sub Part 13.5 “Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services” and FAR Part 12 “Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services”. The Government intends to award fixed price contract for 30, double-occupancy rooms for four nights (Monday afternoon arrival and Friday morning departure), in support of 12 dated events throughout calendar year 2025, for a total of 1440 nights lodging, at or below the San Diego per diem rates.

There are three (3) additional one-year option periods (Calendar Years 2026 through 2029) for the same number of events and rooms. Though specific dates have not yet been established for these option periods, dates will be set within 30 days of the beginning of each period.

The base year (Calendar Year 2025) lodging price will be competitively set but cannot exceed the Federal Government Lodging per diem rate for San Diego. The awardee’s offered price per room (for the base year), will be divided by the current per diem rate to arrive at a percentage. When the new per diem rate for San Diego is published for each succeeding fiscal year, the awardee’s percentage will be multiplied against the new rate to determine that respective option period’s rate. The ceiling price for each option period shall not exceed that current year’s Federal Government Lodging Per Diem rate for the San Diego area and will be locked in for 12 months for each period of performance that it covers, even if the rates increase during that 12-month period. The per diem rates can be located on the General Services Administration (GSA) website at http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/21287.

In addition, a Monday night “Buffet Style” banquet dinner (see section A.3.G), breakfasts for Tuesday and Wednesday (2 breakfasts—see section A.3.h & A.3.i.), and regular dinners for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (3 Dinners—See section A.3.i) shall be provided within the Fiscal Year 2025 Federal Government Meal Per Diem rate for the San Diego area. No charges will be paid against the resultant contract for the breakfast or dinner meals, the meal facilities, or services associated with the meals. Participating offerors simply must have the ability to support the meal requirements. The ceiling price for the option period’s meals shall not exceed that current year’s Federal Government Meal Per Diem rate for the San Diego area.

Participating offerors must also provide 10 single occupancy rooms, at the Federal Government Meal Per Diem rate for the San Diego area during the same dates as the events cited at 1.a.i above. No charges will be paid against the resultant contract for these rooms. Reservations for these rooms will be made via separate correspondence at least 72 hours prior to commencement of each event. The awardee will be free to release any rooms that have not been reserved at least 72 hours prior to each event.
