- Description
- Acquisition of Hotel Accommodations for Senior High Level USG VIP Visit JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION, PRICE JUSTIFICATION (JOFOC) ACQUISITION OF HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS IN SUPPORT OF SENIOR HIGH LEVEL USG VIP VISIT 1. I recommend that the Department of State use other than full and open competition for the acquisition of hotel rooms for this VIP visit. The estimated cost (including 10% service charge and 15% VAT) is: ETB 8,491,127.81 (approximately $412,390.86) 2. Nature and/or description of the action being approved. Senior High Level USG Principal traveling with a delegation inclusive of support elements in: Security, Communications, Logistics and Operations. 3. A description of the supplies or services required to meet the agency's needs. 1280 sleeping room nights at Hilton Hotel in Addis Ababa. 4. An identification of the statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. [ X ] 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (2), FAR 6.302-2; Unusual and Compelling Urgency; (Based on the available time and urgency of the requirement as detailed below) Security concerns prohibit sufficient advanced notification of VIP travel to allow for sufficient time to conduct full and open competition. The Department of State can only communicate with the staff at Posts abroad when authorization is given due to security concerns. They have an extremely short turnaround time when authorization has been granted for negotiations to commence and site selections to be finalized with both the local vendors and Posts before the actual Senior High Level USG VIP visit occurs. Security and logistical teams make determinations during the site survey as to which hotels are most suitable for the Senior High Level USG VIP and his traveling staff to remain overnight. Consideration of the Senior High Level USG Principal and the location are taken into consideration as a determining factor.
