T--Notice of Intent - Sole Source Acquisition

The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall intends to award a sole-source, firm fixed-price contract to GLP Inc. for labor services in support of The U.S. Army Band, known as "Pershing's Own," for its annual production titled "A Holiday Festival." This event is hosted by the Joint Force Headquarters, Military District of Washington and takes place at DAR, Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. The contract covers one base year and two additional one-year option periods, with the initial period of performance slated for November 26 through December 2, 2012. The NAICS code applicable to this acquisition is 561990. The sole-source award is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because GLP Inc. is the exclusive vendor authorized to provide stagehand crew services at Constitution Hall due to its lease and licensing agreement with the venue. Consequently, competition for this contract is restricted, and no solicitation will be publicly posted. Questions regarding the contract can be directed to Ms. Valerie Catlett via email. This procurement supports the Department of Defense’s efforts to secure specialized labor services essential for the successful execution of the band’s annual holiday event.
