About this opportunity
The Department of State's US Embassy Bangkok has awarded a sole-source contract to One Bangkok Company Limited (The Ritz Carlton Bangkok) for event space, catering, and accompanying services to host the Freedom 250 Celebration Committee's commemoration of America's 250th birthday, with an estimated value of $80,000 including options.
The contracting officer justified the sole-source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), determining that only one source is reasonably available. The Ritz Carlton was selected based on criteria including prestige and representation suitable for high-level diplomatic engagement, capacity and flexible layout for VIPs and formal ceremonies, robust security coordination with U.S. and host nation teams, central location with accessible parking and transportation, advanced audiovisual and interpretation capabilities, support for U.S. economic interests through American company ownership, and confirmed availability on the required date. The Embassy conducted market research by soliciting quotes from multiple Bangkok venues, including a local convention center and several five-star hotels, and determined that the Ritz Carlton submitted the lowest price proposal by a considerable margin, well below prevailing market rates for comparable event spaces. The contracting officer certified that the anticipated cost to the government is fair and reasonable based on competitive analysis. Place of performance is Bangkok, Thailand. The contract number is 19TH2026P1007. Award date was May 18, 2026.
