Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, W6QM MICC-FT KNOX, has issued an Award Notice for JCLC Encampment services for 2-19 June 2026. This is a sole source award to Outdoor Odyssey in Boswell, PA, justified by the unique facility requirements for the JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) event.
Scope of Work
The awarded services include providing training, lodging, and meals for JROTC Cadets and Cadre. The training must incorporate military-style adventure training, a Leaders Reaction Course, a climbing/rappel tower, and an obstacle course, all built to military specifications. The facility must adhere to guidelines established by CCR 145-2, and the event duration is planned for 4-7 days within the specified period.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Fixed Price Purchase Order Number W9124D25PA089
- Period of Performance: 2-19 June 2026
- Funds: Operations & Maintenance, Army (OMA) and MPA
- Estimated Value: Not explicitly stated, but estimated at $75 per cadet per day.
- Published Date: June 2, 2026
Justification & Eligibility
This requirement was awarded on a sole source basis due to the lack of reasonable alternative vendors within a 50-mile radius of Boswell, PA, capable of meeting all specified requirements. Market research, including web searches and direct contact with other facilities, confirmed that Outdoor Odyssey is the only source capable of providing the necessary military-type training and facilities. Solicitation of vendors outside this target area was deemed to adversely affect the mission.
Additional Notes
The sole source justification was approved by TERRY D. PHILLIPS Jr., Contracting Officer. The requirement for JCLC attendance is mandated by Cadet Command.
