X-- Renatal of The Pikes Peak Center

The contract involves 21 CONS/LGCBB intending to make a sole-source award under FAR part 12 for the rental of the Pikes Peak Center for eight days to support the performance and rehearsal of the United States Air Force Band of the Rockies. This action is justified under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for contracting with only one responsible source when no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency’s requirements. The associated NAICS code is 531120, with a small business size standard of $6 million. While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive proposals, interested parties may express their interest or submit proposals by 12:00 PM Mountain Time on September 14, 2005, which will be considered to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted. The Department of Defense, through its 21 CONS office at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado, will manage the contract, with Renata Ott serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries or submissions. Responses received will help determine whether the Government proceeds with the sole-source award or opts for competition, but the final decision to compete is at the Government’s discretion. The contract relates specifically to commercial services under NAICS code 531120, covering facility rental, and ensures the necessary venue is secured for the Air Force Band's activities.
