Temporary Berthing Duty Rooms

The Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs has published a Special Notice regarding temporary berthing duty rooms to support operations at the Strategic Weapons Facility, Atlantic (SWFLANT) located at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia. This is a presolicitation notice for a sole source contract (N64709-26-Q-0001) that will be awarded to Navy Exchange Service Command for lodging services. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement covering the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The procurement falls under NAICS code 721110 for Hotels and Motels and is classified under PSC category V231 for lodging and hotel/motel services. The notice indicates this will be a sole source award with no set-aside designation.

The primary objective of this procurement is to provide critical on-base berthing facilities for SWFLANT watchstanding personnel who require immediate 15-minute response times to protect national security assets. The justification documents emphasize that off-base lodging options are unsuitable due to potential delays from travel time, security protocols, and external factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Contractors interested in this opportunity must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can submit questions via email to shakayla.tucker@swflant.navy.mil no later than 1200 EDT on September 29, 2025. Phone calls and office visits are prohibited during the solicitation process. The Request for Quote containing detailed instructions, Statement of Work, and evaluation criteria will be made available exclusively through the Contract Opportunities website. Market research was previously conducted, including a five-day posting on SAM.gov, but no viable alternatives to the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites facility on base were identified that could meet the stringent operational and security requirements.
