Yellow Ribbon Event for Maryland Army National Guard

This contract is a re-solicitation under W912K6-26-QA008 for the Maryland Army National Guard Child and Youth Program to deliver two summer camp events in 2026: a Youth Camp from June 22 to June 26 and a Teen Camp from August 3 to August 7, serving approximately 43 and 28 participants respectively. The contractor must provide a fully inclusive, non-faith-based wilderness venue within 100 miles of Baltimore, Maryland, offering lodging in enclosed, climate-controlled buildings with running water and restrooms for up to 69 youth and two adult chaperones per event, along with 13 meals and three snacks per day that include vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dietary accommodations. The program emphasizes evidence-based youth leadership, resilience, and life-skill development in a supportive outdoor environment and requires certified safety instructors for rock-climbing and wilderness adventure activities. All operations must comply with federal regulations including FAR 52.212-4 and -5, which govern commercial services and statutory compliance, alongside clauses addressing equal opportunity, labor standards, trafficking in persons, Buy American requirements, and wage protections under Executive Orders 14026 and 13706. The contractor must be registered in SAM.gov with an active UEI and CAGE code, submit a firm-fixed-price quote valid for 30 days, and coordinate the final rooming list no later than seven days before each event. Performance will occur at the vendor’s location, with government inspection and acceptance conducted on-site, and payment must be processed electronically through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system using appropriate documentation based on line item type, such as cost vouchers for labor-hour services or invoices paired with receiving reports for fixed-price deliverables. The Department of Defense requires strict adherence to quality control and assurance standards outlined in the Performance Work Statement to ensure all services meet contractual specifications, and any defective service failing performance benchmarks may result in non-acceptance. Key administrative requirements include maintaining compliance with DoDAAC W56BJJ and ensuring the contractor and all personnel are free from debarment or suspension as verified in SAM.gov, with prior performance evaluated through FAPIIs and SPRS databases. Proposals must be submitted by June 5, 2026, via email to Cory Silfies at cory.l.silfies.civ@army.mil, and include company details,
