Justification for Sole Source
The acquisition is justified under 41 USC 3304, implemented by FAR 6.3, due to unique, senior high-level USG VIP travel requirements. These necessitate a limited number of responsible sources capable of providing the required security and logistics support. Factors contributing to the sole-source decision include the last-minute nature of event planning, high demand for hotel accommodation, and security-sensitive considerations that limited market research. No other sources expressed written interest.
Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a sole-source justification.
