E-MAIL: CTO Yokota and Misawa, kodamama@emh.yokota.af.mil. Provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision and other items or services necessary to perform the management and operation of commercial travel offices located at Yokota and Misawa Air Bases in Japan. A single solicitation will be issued to include services for Appropriated Fund (APF) official travel, Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI) official travel, and leisure travel requirements. The combined estimated annual dollar volume is $7M for APF official travel and $5M for NAFI official and leisure travels for both locations. The proposals in response to the APF official travel services will be evaluated independently from proposals submitted in response to leisure and NAFI official travel. The Government intends to make multiple awards, one APF and one NAFI/leisure as a result of this solicitation, (each award will include both bases). Two separate contracts may or may not be awarded to the same offeror. The period of performance for each contract will be a two-year basic period with six six-month options, for a total of five years. The anticipated performance start date is 1 Sep 98. Offerors will propose an air travel discount percentage fee for APF and NAFI official travels. The discount fee is based on total official purchases for all modes including Japanese rail and bus, but reflected as a percentage of air fares. Offerors will propose a monthly sales concession fee for leisure travel. The concession fee is based on the percentage of gross leisure sales minus taxes, including leisure sold in conjunction with official travel (LICWO), for air, bus, auto rental, and lodging. Awards will be made to the offeror(s) whose offer will be most advantageous to the Government considering the evaluation factors stated in the solicitation. Proposals submitted for only one site will be rejected. Proposals that make the two types of travel services interdependent or dependent on each other will also be rejected. The solicitation is exempted from set-aside for small business for all travel services. A draft solicitation will be issued in Dec 97. Approximate issue date for the final solicitation is 15 Jan 98. Any such solicitation will be issued to all firms who respond in writing to this synopsis. Commercial fax number is 011-81-42-530-3319, E-mail address is kodamama@emh.yokota.af.mil.
