About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract to Outdoor Odyssey, Inc. for hosting the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (MCJROTC) National Raider Competition. The contract is for services to facilitate a specialized leadership and skills training event for 220 cadets and 60 instructors from April 24-27, 2025. The competition will be held at Outdoor Odyssey's facility in Boswell, Pennsylvania, utilizing a 50-acre wooded mountainous terrain. The procurement will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using FAR Part 13, with the government determining that only this specific vendor can meet their unique requirements. The contract is being awarded under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1, which allows for a non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency needs.
The primary objective of this special notice is to provide a comprehensive leadership and skills development training for MCJROTC cadets through a multifaceted outdoor competition. The event will include activities such as Marine Corps-style leadership instruction, climbing, rappelling, zip-lining, leadership reaction courses, ropes courses, obstacle courses, backpacking, and caving. Outdoor Odyssey will be responsible for providing all necessary facilities, equipment, lodging, catering, and transportation services, including meals for all participants and airport transfers. Interested contractors have three days from the notice's publication to submit Expressions of Interest (EOIs) via email to Sergeant Danny Ly, detailing their capability to deliver comparable services. The EOIs must include comprehensive technical and pricing information to demonstrate service delivery potential. Contractors should note that this is a firm fixed-price contract with no government-furnished services, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with this sole-source procurement.
