V - OCC Hotel Occupancy for Conferencing and Lodging Support to the Uniform Commission Examination Program

This presolicitation notice is for market research purposes only. The requirement is unrestricted in size, however, the primary invitees are representatives of large hotel properties (Contractor); not agents or management firms, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex or Chicago Metropolitan (ORD) area.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will be hosting a virtual Presolicitation Conference on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 from 9:00 AM CT to 12:00 PM CT to promote early exchanges of information about the upcoming hotel occupancy for conferencing and lodging (HOCL) requirement. This requirement is anticipated to businesses registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) asserted under the NAICS code 721110 - Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels, pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.5 procedures.

The OCC is seeking HOCL Support to include internet, various conferencing rooms with configured [space] layouts, food and beverage services, and a dedicated storage space. Concluding proposal evaluations from the formal solicitation posting, the resulting contract will be a single award to the hotel offering the best value to the Government (OCC). The anticipated HOCL contract will be for a period of 5 years, subject to the availability of funds. During this presolicitation conference, the OCC will describe the scope of work, identify Contractor key personnel and deliverables, share lessons learned from previous hotel conferencing contracts, highlight areas of risks and liabilities associated with hotel leasing (including Vendor-related accidents, data breaches, indemnification clauses). In addition, the OCC will allow time for follow up and general questions regarding the overall scope of work presented, the acquisition strategy and process for the HOCL requirement.
