JCLC Black Creek

The contract for JCLC Black Creek is a sole-source award issued under FAR 12.102(a) to the Coastal Georgia Council, BSA, due to the unique and irreplaceable nature of its facility in Savannah, Georgia, which is the only location capable of supporting the full scope of the Junior Cadet Leadership Course. The contract requires the contractor to provide integrated lodging for 240 personnel—including 202 cadets and 38 cadre members—with gender-segregated accommodations, full meal services compliant with DA PAM 30-22, and operational adventure training infrastructure such as high and low ropes courses, a zip line, and an archery range, along with 10 gas-powered golf carts for site mobility. All services must be delivered at a single, secure, co-located facility within the specified performance period of June 1 to June 5, 2026, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site. The award is structured as a fixed-price contract under a simplified acquisition, with funding sourced from Operations & Maintenance, Army, under MPA FY: 26, though no specific contract value or detailed pricing structure is disclosed. The contracting activity is the Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Knox, Kentucky, with Noraida Hunsaker listed as the primary point of contact and Terry D. Phillips, Jr. serving as the Contracting Officer, while no COR, COTR, or PCO is identified. The contractor is not required to hold any socioeconomic certifications, and no set-aside was used; the NAICS code 721214 applies to traveler accommodation, with a small business size standard of $12.5 million in annual receipts. Although the sole source determination is referenced as an attachment, no formal clause listings, contract line item numbers, invoicing procedures, payment details, or representations from the offeror such as UEI or CAGE codes were included in the documentation. Compliance with USACC CCR 145-2 is critical, as failure to award to this contractor would prevent the annual execution of JCLC, making this a mission-critical procurement with no viable alternatives.
