The Peace Corps seeks a Contractor to provide hotel/meeting facilities and lodging to support 30 attendees at its Advisory Board Conference from March 2nd to March 6th, 2015 in accordance with the specifications in the attached Statement of Work (SOW); the SOW also contains all applicable contract clauses and solicitation provisions with which Offerors must comply.

If the Offeror will require Peace Corps to sign a standard hotel agreement, the agreement must be submitted as part of this volume and its terms must not conflict with any of the clauses and provisions contained in the SOW (ref: Sections 11& 12); the supplemental agreement will be subject to a legal review from Peace Corps' Office of General Counsel (OGC). Volume 1 must not exceed six (6) pages in length, including any cover page, table of contents, and other addendum, as applicable (any hotel agreements, if required, do NOT count toward the page limit).

Offerors are reminded that the Federal Government is exempt from taxation for the performance of services under this contract. Offers must be valid for no less than 30 days after the submission deadline. BASIS FOR AWARD & MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: The Government intends to award a FFP purchase order to the responsible Offeror who submits the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) offer. The following minimum requirements will be used to evaluate the technical acceptability of an offer: • The hotel or meeting center must be within one-half (0.5) miles of 1111 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20526 (Peace Corps HQ). • The hotel or meeting center must be within five (5) city blocks of a Washington Metro Area Transit Authority Metro Station. • The Offeror must be able to provide a (general session) meeting space with seating to accommodate 30 attendees from March 2-6, 2015 (5 days). • 12 hotel rooms are available and held from March 1-7, 2015 (6 nights) at a rate not to exceed the local Government per diem rate for lodging. • 5 of the 12 hotel rooms are available and held from February 28th - March 8 (8 nights) at a rate not to exceed the local Government per diem rate for lodging. • Wireless connectivity available in hotel rooms for duration of stay at no extra cost. • Two sessions of light refreshments (coffee, tea and bottled water) to be provided for in the AM and PM of each day of meeting March 2-6, 2015 (5 days). • On-site facility representative available to be the primary hotel contact throughout meeting March 2-6, 2015 (5 days). • Audio Visual (AV) equipment (screen and projector) supplied from March 2-6, 2015 (5 days). • Wireless connectivity in the meeting space for duration of meeting March 2-6, 2015 (5 days).

The Peace Corps reserves the right to evaluate only the lowest-priced offer and to make an award to that Offeror if their offer is determined to be technically acceptable in accordance with the requirements listed above. If the lowest-priced offer is NOT determined to be technically acceptable, the Peace Corps will evaluate the next lowest-priced offer in the same manner. If two or more Offerors propose the same price and are deemed technically acceptable, the hotel that is located the closest (in distance) to Peace Corps Headquarters will be selected.
