Quick Summary
This document is a Single Source Justification by the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait for the urgent procurement of 25 hotel rooms and associated support services from RADISSON BLU HOTEL – Kuwait City, Kuwait. The justification is driven by an immediate need to house displaced Embassy families due to a kinetic war with Iran, requiring rapid and secure accommodation.
Purpose of Justification
The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait required urgent temporary lodging and hotel support services for families displaced from the Embassy compound. A competitive procurement process was deemed not feasible due to the critical and immediate nature of the requirement, necessitating a sole source award to the Radisson Blu Hotel.
Scope of Services
The requirement includes furnishing fully serviced hotel rooms, immediate group booking accommodations, security-conscious facilities, logistical coordination support, and essential hospitality services. The contractor must provide sufficient room capacity immediately, ensure safe and secure accommodation, and support emergency relocation requirements without delay. The estimated value for the entire period of performance is 32,343.75 KWD.
