Description: Justification and Approval, 2011 CSTEA Booth Spaces The 902d Contracting Squadron at Randolph AFB has a Sole-Source requirement to purchase items as described in the Description of Supplies. This is a streamlined combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This notice constitutes the only notice. A written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is issued as a request for quote. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect the Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-32. The NAICS Code is 561920; size standard $7 M. IAW 10 U.S.C. 2304c(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 - Only One Responsible Source and no Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. A Firm Fixed Priced Award will be made in accordance with the following Description of Supplies: DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES A. The following items will be provided: CLIN 0001: Description: Exhibit booth space (10' X 10') Qty: Twenty-six (26) B. Period of Performance: 19 Sep 2011 through 21 Sep 2011 JUSTIFICATION The Gaylord National Hotel on the Potomic has been selected to host this year's Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award (CSTEA) participants. The CSTEA has been scheduled for 19-21 September 2011. Part of the CSTEA plan calls for exhibition displays, a ceremony, and a reception. As participants in the CSTEA program, twenty-one competing CSTEA teams are required to set up exhibition display booths to network and dialogue on their process improvements. The Air Force Association Veterans Benefits Association (AFAVBA) has selected the Gaylord National Hotel on the Potomic to host the AFA Annual Aerospace and Technology Exposition. Air Force Manpower Agency (AFMA) planning committee has determined that it is in the Government's better interest to hold the exhibitions, ceremony, and reception portion of the CSTEA program in the same facility where the awards and convention activities are scheduled to take place. The AFAVBA has leased the entire Gaylord National Hotel on the Potomic for 19-21 September 2011 and has designated areas for exhibitions to be held during the convention at the Hotel. During CSTEA 2011, the AFAVBA is the office of primary responsibility for setting up the AFA Annual Aerospace and Technology Exposition and the sole source for the rental of all areas within the Gaylord National Hotel on the Potomic. The CSTEA planning committee recommends the AFA Annual Aerospace and Technology Exposition as the source to satisfy the CSTEA requirement. The AFA Annual Aerospace and Technology Exposition is tailored to the professional requirements of Air Force enlisted, officers, guardsmen, and reservists. Furthermore, it provides AFMA a unique opportunity to promote the CSTEA program in an exclusive environment. The effectiveness, spirit, and moral boost achieved by AFMA's CSTEA Program will deteriorate considerably if AFMA is unable to secure exhibition booths and space as required by the CSTEA program. Market research identified no other vendors providing compatible services within the Gaylord National Hotel on the Potomic vicinity during the CSTEA scheduled time frame.
