Chapel Marriage Retreat

This solicitation, FA461026Q0035, is a combined synopsis and request for quotation issued under FAR Part 12 for commercial services to support a Chaplain Corps Marriage Retreat at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The contract requires a single venue within a 3.5-hour drive of the base to accommodate approximately 50 military personnel and their spouses for a weekend retreat, providing 25 private guest rooms with king-size beds, a fully equipped meeting room for all participants with audiovisual and internet capabilities, four meals (two breakfasts, one lunch, one dinner), continuous nonalcoholic refreshments, on-site check-in and parking, and a dedicated event coordinator to manage logistics. Offerors must submit 2–3 menu options for meals and refreshments. The solicitation is not set aside for small businesses but will evaluate small business quotations alongside other offers. Performance is expected during a weekend in June or July 2026, with exact dates contingent on venue availability. The contract mandates full compliance with numerous federal regulations and clauses, including mandatory SAM registration, electronic submission through WAWF, adherence to anti-trafficking and equal opportunity requirements, prohibition on using covered defense telecommunications equipment or services, and restrictions on sourcing from Xinjiang or entities supporting the Maduro regime. Offerors must also comply with clauses addressing sustainable products, cybersecurity protection of defense information, payment by electronic funds transfer, and prohibitions on certain internal confidentiality agreements. Evaluation will be based on technical capability, price reasonableness, and past performance under a most advantageous trade-off process, not a lowest price technically acceptable methodology. Proposals must be submitted electronically via WAWF by June 5, 2026, with no physical submissions accepted. The contracting office is located at Vandenberg SFB, CA, with Kristofer Clark as the primary point of contact, and the NAICS code is 721110 for lodging. No contract value is specified, and no formal packaging or delivery specifications are provided, as the work is entirely service-based.
