About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the Department of State announces the agency's intent to award a sole-source contract for Independence Day 2025 catering services. The notice serves as a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for organizing the official July 4th reception in Podgorica, Montenegro. The Department of State plans to award a firm fixed-price contract valued at EUR26,130.00 to Imanje Knaz for comprehensive event services. The contract will cover venue rental, full-service catering, fireworks, and parking accommodations for approximately 500 guests. The posting date is June 24, 2025, with responses due by July 23, 2025.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to provide public notification of the sole-source procurement under FAR 6.302-1 authority, which allows for non-competitive contracts when only one responsible source can meet agency requirements. After conducting thorough market research of multiple venues in Podgorica, the Contracting Officer determined that Imanje Knaz is the only facility capable of meeting all specified requirements, including security standards prescribed by the Regional Security Officer and parking for 400 vehicles. The venue must accommodate 500 guests while providing comprehensive catering services and fireworks for the Independence Day celebration. Given the sole-source nature of this procurement, there are no competitive eligibility criteria for other contractors to participate. The Department of State will publish the JOFOC on Beta.Sam.gov within 14 days after contract award, and no other potential sources expressed interest during the market research phase.
