DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES Following items will be provided: CLIN: 0001; Description: Exhibit booth space (8? x 10?); Quantity: Twenty-three (23) Period of Performance: 24 September 2007 through 26 September 2007. Place of Performance Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, DC. 20008 JUSTIFICATION The 12th Contracting Squadron at Randolph AFB intends to award a contract on a Limited Source basis to acquire 23 exhibit display booths AFMA/RM. The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and the Omni Sheraton Hotel have been selected to host this year?s CSTEA participants. The CSTEA has been scheduled for September 19-27, 2007. Part of the CSTEA plan calls for exhibition displays, a ceremony, and a reception. As participants in the CSTEA program, twenty-three (23) competing CSTEA teams are required to set up exhibition display booths to network and dialogue on their process improvements. The Air Force Association (AFA) has selected the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel to host the AFA National Convention. In the Government?s better interest, market research conducted by AFMA supports a determination made by the planning committee to hold the exhibitions, ceremony, and reception portion of the CSTEA program in the same facility where the awards and convention activities are scheduled to take place. The AFA has leased the entire Marriott Wardman Park Hotel for September 24 ? 27, 2007 and has designated areas for exhibitions to be held during the convention at the Hotel. During CSTEA 2007, the AFA is the office of primary responsibility for setting up the AFA National Convention and the sole source for the rental of all areas within the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. The CSTEA planning committee recommends the AFA National Convention as the source to satisfy the CSTEA requirement. The AFA convention is tailored to the professional requirements of Air Force enlisted, officers, guardsmen, and reservists. Furthermore, it provides AFMA a unique opportunity to promote the CSTEA program in an exclusive environment. The effectiveness, spirit, and moral boost achieved by AFMA?s CSTEA Program will deteriorate considerably if AFMA is unable to secure exhibition booths and space as required by the CSTEA program. Market research identified no other vendors providing compatible services within the Marriott/Omni vicinity during the CSTEA scheduled time frame. For these reasons it is determined that no source other than the AFA can meet this requirement.
