- Description
- The Department of State issued the above-referenced purchase order to State Plaza Hotel Inc, on behalf of the Bureau of African Affairs for a block of hotel rooms and a hospitality/control room for use during the President's Young African Leaders Forum held the first week of August in Washington, DC. Senior administration officials announced this Forum on Friday, June 25, when President Obama met with African leaders at the G8 Summit in Toronto. Logistical planning could not begin until after the July 4th holiday. Approximately 140-150 hotel rooms per night were required for the African conference delegates, as well as a hospitality room to provide internet access for the delegates. To secure the availability of rooms, a blocked reservation was required much earlier. Due to this short advanced notice, a purchase order was issued pursuant to 41 USC 253(c)(2), FAR 6.302-2, Unusual & Compelling Urgency. A notice was not publicized prior to award, per the exception under FAR 5.202(a)(2). While not publicizing per FAR 5.203 and 13.003(b)(1), an attempt was made to solicit quotes from local potential sources to the maximum extent practicable. A purchase order was issued to State Plaza Hotel Inc, of Washington, DC, in the total amount of $80,640.00 on 15 July 2010. The order was subsequently modified on 30 July 2010 to decrease quantity of rooms and overall order value to by $17,500.00 to $63,140.00. In accordance with FAR 6.305, this J&A notice is being published within 30 days of award.
