Cadet Leadership Camp

The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Commander’s office in Quantico, VA, intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price contract to Outdoor Odyssey, located at 450 Boy Scout Rd, Boswell, PA 15531, for the delivery of a 7-day Cadet Leadership Camp for 150 Marine Corps JROTC cadets from July 12 to 18, 2026. This procurement, identified by solicitation number M0026426QCS99 and classified under NAICS code 611620, is being conducted under FAR Part 12 and 13 procedures based on the determination that only one source is reasonably available to meet the program’s unique requirements. The contract will not involve government-furnished property or personnel, and the contractor assumes full responsibility for all aspects of program execution, including lodging, meals, ground transportation, training staff, safety equipment, and facility management, with zero day-to-day government oversight. All staff must pass criminal background checks within 60 days of camp start and adhere to strict food safety, facility, and safety standards, with operations running 24/7 throughout the duration. The performance work statement outlines mandatory deliverables including 2,700 meals served per schedule, safe and sanitary overnight accommodations with full bathroom facilities, and a comprehensive leadership curriculum through outdoor activities such as rock climbing, rappelling, zip-lining, ropes courses, caving, hiking, and whitewater rafting. Instructor training must occur concurrently with cadet activities, and all personnel must maintain professional attire at all times. Acceptance is tied directly to performance at the Boswell, PA site, with inspection possible at origin or destination depending on logistics. No formal line-item pricing, contract value, or financial details are provided, indicating the award is based on capability rather than cost competition. There are no contract options, no set-asides, no specific evaluation factors or weights listed, and no formal clause citations from FAR Part 52, with all requirements defined through customized narrative specifications. Submissions of capability statements or proposals are due by June 24, 2026, to the contracting office in Quantico, VA, with the government’s point of contact information to be provided post-award.
