IBC HRD RFI for SDATD Off-Site Training Venue

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center (IBC) Human Resources Directorate is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential off-site training venues for their Security and Drug & Alcohol Testing Division (SDATD) in 2025. The agency seeks a hotel location within 20 minutes of an airport in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Tennessee, or Texas that can accommodate 60 hotel rooms for 4 nights and provide two conference rooms with video capabilities. The training event will last 3 days during one of three potential date ranges: April 14-18, April 28-May 2, or June 23-27, 2025. Vendors must submit a capability statement detailing their experience, applicable contract vehicles, business size classification, and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number. The RFI response deadline is December 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM ET, with potential one-on-one vendor sessions planned for December 2024.

This RFI is not a formal solicitation and will not result in a direct contract award, but serves as market research to gather information from potential vendors. The government has specified that federal tax exemption compliance is required, and no food service is needed for the event. The venue should be located near restaurants and offer outdoor activity options. While no specific award value is mentioned, the requirement encompasses lodging for 60 individuals and two conference rooms for a multi-day training event. The opportunity is categorized under NAICS code 721110 for Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels, and PSC code V231 for Transportation/Travel/Lodging. Interested vendors should submit their responses directly to Christina Lene (Contracting Officer) and Andrea Corum (Contract Specialist) at the Interior Business Center.
