(Intent to Sole Source) ACE ROTC Cadet Lodging

Intent to Sole Source

(FAR 13-106-1(b)(1).)

The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of ACE ROTC Cadet Lodging to provide all lodging services necessary to support approximately 30 ROTC cadets for 27 nights while the cadets attend the courses given at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13-106-1(b)(1).

This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 721110. Size standard is $32.5M. 

The proposed source is Wright Patterson Inns, 2439 Schlatter Drive; Wright Patterson AFB, OH, 45433-5547. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.

In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows:  Other local accommodations do not provide a competitive nightly rate which is required to stay within the established budget. In addition, other accommodations do not provide free bus transportation. Therefore, Wright-Patterson Inns is the only cost efficient choice for the course budget.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD.  Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012.  You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220.
