Riversport Teambuilding Event

Riversport Teambuilding Event 

The 137th Special Operations Wing (137 SOW) announces its intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price purchase order on a sole-source basis to Riversport OKC for a teambuilding event. 

The 137 SOW Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program requires a professionally facilitated, off-site team-building event to foster unit cohesion, communication, and resilience among service members.

To meet the mission's objectives, the Government requires a turnkey, commercial solution within the local Oklahoma City metropolitan area that includes:

• Exclusive access to a professional rowing and paddling facility.

• A guided, hands-on curriculum utilizing specific watercraft (e.g., multi-person Dragon Boats on the Oklahoma River) or specialized indoor athletic equipment (e.g., indoor rowing tanks and ergometers).

• All necessary safety gear, safety briefings, and professional facilitation.

• A catered meal provided on-site for all participants.

The intended vendor is the only known local commercial entity that possesses the necessary riverfront infrastructure, specialized aquatic training equipment, and established team-building curriculum required for this event. Utilizing this vendor ensures the POTFF program can meet its training objectives. 

This Special Notice of Intent is not a Request for Quotes (RFQ) or a formal solicitation. However, any responsible commercial entity that believes it possesses the facilities, equipment, and capability to meet this exact requirement within the Oklahoma City local area may submit a detailed capability statement.

Capability statements must demonstrate the vendor's ability to provide the required water-based/indoor rowing venue, equipment, facilitation, and catering as described in the attached Performance Work Statement (located at the bottom of the Solicitation). The Government will consider all responses received prior to the closing date of this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

All inquiries or capability statements must be submitted via email to the primary point of contact, Jiyah McGrath (jiyah.mcgrath@us.af.mil) and Ryan Moehle (ryan.moehle@us.af.mil), no later than 02 July 2026 at 10:00 AM CST. No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
