Lodging Services

Background
The Department of State is seeking to acquire hotel accommodations for a Senior High Level USG Principal visit to Jaipur, India. This contract is necessary due to the unique security and logistical requirements associated with high-level government travel, which often does not allow for sufficient advance notice to conduct full and open competition. The estimated cost for the services ranges from $274 to approximately $1,226,737, depending on the actual services contracted.

Work Details
The contract includes the acquisition of hotel rooms, conference rooms, catering services, and communication/IT equipment rental services at Hotel ITC Rajputana in Jaipur. The Senior High Level USG Principal will be traveling with a delegation that includes support elements in Security, Communications, Logistics, and Operations. Due to security concerns and the urgency of the requirement, only one contract will be awarded. The Department of State has determined that other hotels in Jaipur are not adequate due to insufficient size or availability of rooms to meet the delegation's needs. The anticipated cost is justified based on prevailing market rates in Jaipur.

Period of Performance
The specific period of performance is not detailed but is expected to align closely with the timing of the Senior High Level USG Principal's visit.

Place of Performance
Hotel ITC Rajputana, Jaipur, India.
