MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT RETREAT (Lake Geneva, Wisconsin)

The U.S. Navy, through the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, has issued a firm fixed price solicitation N0018926QW174 for a Marriage Enrichment Retreat to be held in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, from August 28 to August 30, 2026. This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses under NAICS code 721110, and the contractor must be currently registered and in good standing in the System for Award Management with all required annual representations and certifications up to date. The requirement calls for the provision of a compliant hotel venue that meets stringent performance standards outlined in Sections 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 of the Statement of Work, with technical acceptability serving as a mandatory pass/fail gate—submissions that merely paraphrase the SOW or fail to demonstrate full capability will be deemed unacceptable and ineligible for award. The facility must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990, and no subcontracting or assignment of duties is permitted without the Contracting Officer’s prior written consent. Offerors must submit a complete cost breakdown, demonstrate technical feasibility, and provide past performance information through two required forms, with references instructed to email completed reports directly to the designated points of contact, Marvin Branch and Carlton Walton. Proposals are due by June 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM, and will be evaluated based on equal weighting of technical capability and past performance, with price considered less critical but potentially decisive in tradeoff scenarios if past performance suggests low pricing may not yield best value. Payment will be processed via DFAS Electronic Funds Transfer using the Wide Area WorkFlow system, with invoices limited to actual bedrooms and food services rendered, supported by detailed cost documentation. The contract incorporates a broad set of federal acquisition regulations including clauses on combating trafficking in persons, cybersecurity compliance, prohibitions on foreign-made unmanned aircraft, antiterrorism training, whistleblower rights, and restrictions on covered defense telecommunications equipment, all of which require adherence and certification. The contractor must also maintain active SAM certifications for export controls, detainee interrogation prohibitions, and other federal compliance mandates, ensuring full alignment with Department of Defense and national security standards.
