X--Hotel rooms and conference space to accommodate approximately 200+ individuals from July 31, 2009 to August 2, 2009.

The United States Property and Fiscal Office for Michigan plans to award a contract to the Kewadin Casino, Hotel and Convention Center to host the Pre-Deployment Conference for the Michigan National Guard. This event will require accommodations and conference space for over 200 participants from July 31 to August 2, 2009. The Kewadin facility has agreed to provide hotel rooms at no charge per diem rates and does not require the use of internal audio-visual equipment, which simplifies logistical needs. The venue must be located in the northern region of Michigan to meet the geographical requirements of the conference. Interested hotels that can accommodate the specified number of attendees and meet the location criteria were invited to respond in writing by noon on July 24, 2009, to the USPFO for Michigan’s Purchasing & Contracting Division. This communication is not a request for quotation, but an intention to award the contract, allowing for further inquiries if needed. The contract falls under the NAICS code 721120, which pertains to hotels and motels, and is managed by the Department of Defense, specifically the W7NF USPFO Activity for Michigan Army National Guard.
