About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farm Loan Programs issues a Notice of Intent to sole-source a Firm-Fixed-Price contract for integrated hotel lodging and conference facilities with a response deadline of August 16, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside under FAR Part 12 simplified procedures for commercial products and services. DAFLP intends to negotiate exclusively with Doubletree by Hilton - Omaha Downtown to house 191 attendees and provide dedicated classroom training spaces for an essential in-person training event September 13–18, 2026. The Government requires a single venue capable of simultaneously maintaining guest rooms while providing a general sessions room and five breakout rooms with audiovisual equipment. Market research across Federal and commercial properties in Omaha, Nebraska determined the proposed vendor is the only source meeting the Government's technical constraints—concurrent capacity, confirmed layout availability within the non-negotiable September window, and functional infrastructure including acoustic isolation and minimal transit between lodging and instructional facilities—without severe mission disruption. Interested parties may submit capability statements with clear and convincing evidence of ability to meet these integrated requirements to crystal.baird2usda.gov by August 17, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET. The Government will review responses to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with final discretion retained by the Government.
