About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is soliciting commercial lodging services for the Mobility Guardian Exercise in Cairns, Australia through the 375th Contracting Squadron at Scott AFB, IL. The contract requires a commercial lodging facility to provide rooms for military personnel, with specific room configurations including double and single occupancy accommodations. Evaluation criteria will prioritize technical performance over price, assessing vendors on three primary subfactors: the number of hotel rooms provided, completeness of staffing plans, and proximity to Cairns Airport (with hotels more than 30 minutes away considered unacceptable). Quotes are due by 2:00 PM CST on May 7, 2025, and must be submitted via email to the specified contract specialist and contracting officer. The solicitation follows a full and open competition under NAICS code 721110 for Hotels and Motels, with the government reserving the right to distribute the requirement among up to three vendors based on technical acceptability and lowest aggregate price.

The solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation and covers a 21-day performance period from July 6 to July 27, 2025. The total room requirements include 7 double occupancy and 2 single occupancy rooms from July 6-8, expanding to 80 double occupancy and 10 single occupancy rooms from July 9-27, totaling approximately 89 rooms. The place of performance is located in Barron Gorge, Queensland, Australia, with the government seeking a commercial lodging facility that can meet strict quality assurance standards and adhere to U.S. Defense Travel Management Office per diem rates. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract emphasizes comprehensive service requirements, including 24-hour check-in/check-out, daily custodial services, and immediate responsiveness to service calls. The solicitation allows for potential multiple awards, with the primary goal of securing suitable accommodations for military personnel during the Mobility Guardian Exercise.
