A nation-wide market survey was initiated by the Internal Revenue Service by utilizing a National Hotel Broker Service to solicit the interest of hotels capable of providing accommodation and classroom space for 2,200 attendees (two sessions of approx. 1,100 each; three day sessions). New Orleans was chosen as the geographic location, based on the best overall value to the Government based on all factors, including the non-procurement factors such as travel and per-diem costs specific to the IRS employees attending these two CPE sessions. A survey of Hotels in New Orleans resulted in a single acceptable source, The Host Marriott Hotel, 555 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130.

A determination by the Government to not compete this purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
