Title: U.S. ARMY MEDICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMMAND (USAMRDC)2023 SPRING

LEADERS’ SUMMIT

Requiring Activity Name: U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC)

1. INTRODUCTION AND REQUIREMENTS

The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) is the Department of Defense’s medical materiel developer, with responsibility for medical research, development, and acquisition. The USAMRDC’s expertise in these critical areas helps establish and maintain the capabilities the Army needs remain ready and lethal on the battlefield.

Ensuring our armed forces remain in optimal health and are equipped to protect themselves from disease and injury, particularly on the battlefield, is the job of the USAMRDC. The USAMRDC is headquartered (HQ) at Fort Detrick, MD, with nine (9) subordinate directorates located throughout the world. Seven (7) medical research laboratory directorates execute the science and technology program to investigate medical solutions for the battlefield with a focus on various areas of biomedical research, including military infectious diseases, combat casualty care, military operational medicine, medical chemical and biological defense, and clinical and rehabilitative medicine. The USAMRDC manages a large extramural research program with numerous contracts, grants, and cooperative research and development agreements to provide additional science and technology capabilities from leading academic, private industry, and other Government organizations.

The use of “Contractor” and “hotel facility” are used interchangeably throughout this Performance Work Statement (PWS) and have the same meaning.

1.1. Mission

1.1.1 The Director’s mission is to responsively and responsibly create, develop, acquire and deliver capabilities for the warfighter.

1.2. Background

The USAMRDC Director’s Leaders’ Summit is a semi-annual in-person and virtual event with USAMRDC leadership and staff. As stated above, USAMRDC is comprised of nine (9) subordinate directorates, which are geographically dispersed throughout the world. As a result, the Leaders’ Summit (1) brings leaders and staff from across USAMRDC together in one location; (2) allows leaders and staff to hear the Director’s vision, guidance on the current operating environment and threats, and provide a common understanding of how USAMRDC’s mission supports the future fight in multi-domain operations; (3) provides an environment for USAMRDC leaders and staff to come together in-person to exchange views and share information, discuss challenges and seek solutions, introduce new strategies, fuel collaboration, and build camaraderie across the USAMRDC; and (4) contributes to leadership development.

1.3. Objective

The USAMRDC requires a hotel facility to provide meeting room space, audio/visual, food and beverage (breakfast, two (2) breaks (morning and afternoon)) for fifty (50) personnel, and lodging (overnight stay) for up to forty-five

(45) personnel in the Natick/Framingham, MA area for the 2023 Spring Leaders’ Summit scheduled for 1 May 2023 through 4 May 2023.

1.3.1. USAMRDC requires the physical location of the hotel facility to be in Natick/Framingham, MA, and to be no more than one (1) mile from the Logan Express shuttle station or if further than one (1) mile, provide a complimentary shuttle service to/from the hotel facility and the Logan Express station.

Accordingly, USAMRDC will only contract directly with the facility and will not accept third-party contractors for the contract. All offerors must demonstrate that USAMRDC will not be charged state or local hotel taxes. USAMRDC requires direct coordination and communication with facility event coordinators before, during, and after the event.
