Korea Readiness Orientation Course (K-ROC)

The Korea Readiness Orientation Course (K-ROC) is supported by a five-year, sole-source Firm-Fixed-Price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded to Dragon Hill Lodge (DHL), a Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality of the U.S. Army, for on-installation lodging and meal services at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan in Seoul, South Korea. The contract, identified by solicitation number W91QVN26AA008, runs from May 6, 2026, to May 5, 2031, with annual pricing tiers for double and single occupancy lodging that include daily breakfast buffets and one customized box lunch per person. Rates are fixed per year with incremental adjustments, totaling an estimated value of $6.458 million to $6.5 million, funded by Operations and Maintenance, Army (OMA) appropriations. The award is justified under FAR 12.102 and SAP FAR 13.501(a)(2) due to the non-negotiable requirement for services to be delivered exclusively within the secure, access-controlled perimeter of Yongsan Garrison, eliminating any feasible competition. Dragon Hill Lodge is the only entity capable of meeting these mandatory force protection, logistical, and operational security constraints, making it the sole responsible source. Performance is evaluated solely on compliance with location and service delivery standards, with no assessment of technical approach, past performance, or management plans. Inspection and acceptance occur at the site of performance, and pricing is benchmarked against Joint Travel Regulations but is not the basis for award. The contract structure includes no option periods, CLINs, or line-item numbering, and no packaging, labeling, invoicing system, or COR designation is specified. The contracting officer is Michael L. West, and the requirement is administered by the 411th Contracting Support Brigade out of APO, AP 96271-5289.
