Auxiliary Catholic Priest BPA

The Department of Defense, through the FA4417 1 Socons office at Hurlburt Field, Florida, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing auxiliary Catholic priest services under a potential Blanket Purchase Agreement. This sources-sought notice does not solicit quotes or proposals for award but seeks to determine industry capability and interest in fulfilling this specialized requirement. The intended service involves an ordained Roman Catholic priest who is in good standing with the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, and possesses valid ecclesiastical endorsement through DD Form 2088, a current certificate of ordination, and a letter of good standing from a U.S. diocese. The priest must be fluent in English, pass a background check per DoDI 1402.05 processed through the Hurlburt Field Chapel, and reside within a 60-minute recall radius of the chapel to ensure emergency availability. Services include celebrating Masses on Sundays, weekdays, and Holy Days of Obligation, hearing confessions, performing sacraments, and adhering to doctrinal standards set by the Roman Catholic Church and DAFI 52-101. Base access requires compliance with the REAL ID Act, and all activities must be conducted at the Hurlburt Field Chapel. The contractor must document all services performed and submit invoices to the 1 SOW/HC Authorized Caller for payment, though no pricing details or contract value are provided in this pre-solicitation phase. Interested parties must respond via email to the primary and secondary points of contact prior to June 1, 2026, at 1400 CDT, and must provide all required ecclesiastical and background documentation as outlined in the Draft Statement of Work. No formal contract clauses, pricing structures, evaluation factors, or award mechanisms are included, as the document serves solely as a market research tool to inform future procurement actions.
