The Near East South Asia Center (NESA) for Strategic Studies is seeking contractor support for lodging services for the Executive Seminar 02-25 scheduled from December 7 to December 13, 2024, in the Washington, D.C. area. The contractor will accommodate approximately 35 participants, comprising 25 USG-funded and 10 self-pay guests, ensuring compliance with specific requirements such as room amenities, meal provisions, and accessibility standards.
Key requirements include providing rooms with high-speed internet, refrigerators, and microwaves, along with a complimentary hot breakfast. The lodging location must be within 0.5 miles of the Pentagon and an in-service Metro station, while also accommodating dietary restrictions, particularly against pork and alcohol.
