Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Hotel Accommodations (Post-Award Notice)

Description

The Embassy of the United States of America in Copenhagen, Denmark has awarded a firm-fixed-price, sole source purchase order in the amount of DKK 92,470.00 (approximately USD 13,766.56) to Hotel NH Collection Copenhagen (NH Strandgade Aps). This procurement provided hotel accommodations, parking, and event space in support of an official  visit of a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) that took place from April 24 to April 26, 2025.

The services included hotel rooms for members of congress and accompanying staff, secured on-site parking, and meeting facilities to support official engagements. The requirement was not advertised in advance due to significant security considerations, which prevented public notification without risking the safety and operational integrity of the delegation.

This action was conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency. Hotel NH Collection Copenhagen was selected based on its ability to meet all required security, logistical, and operational needs on short notice. The hotel offered rates within the U.S. Government per diem, complied with the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990, and was in a location critical to the success of the delegation’s mission. These factors, combined with the time-sensitive and confidential nature of the requirement, justified the use of a non-competitive acquisition strategy.

This notice is being published in accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(15) to announce the award of a sole source contract using other than full and open competition. This posting is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a request for competitive offers.
