The Marine Corps Installations, National Capital Region, through a Request for Information (RFI), seeks market input for the 2024 NYC Veterans Week Event, focusing on attendee accommodations and conference space from November 6 to November 13, 2024. The RFI aims to gather industry feedback on technical specifications, potential cost implications, and associated performance risks, as outlined in the Draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). It requests responses from interested vendors regarding their capability to meet the requirements, barriers to competition, perceived vagueness in the PWS, and pricing information. This announcement emphasizes that it is not a solicitation for proposals; rather, it serves purely informational purposes. Vendors are encouraged to submit a capabilities statement and provide feedback by October 18, 2024, but no funding is associated with this RFI. The document underscores the need for clear communication, complete responses, and compliance with proprietary information guidelines while establishing the foundation for future engagements related to this event. Overall, this RFI illustrates the Marine Corps' proactive approach to ensuring effective planning and execution of the Veterans Week celebration.
The file outlines a Request for Information (RFI) for accommodations related to the 2024 NYC Veterans Week events, primarily focusing on the annual Veterans Day Parade and a commissioning ceremony for the USS John Basilone.
