Purchases by the Federal Government are tax exempt by law and most states accept the purchase order as evidence of purchase by the Federal Government. This is not tax advice and does not guarantee that the jurisdiction the purchase is in will waive the sales tax. It is the vendors' responsibility to check applicable state laws before making an offer. Hotel must meet all the criteria listed in the Purchase Description of the solicitation (to include the AAA rating requirement) to be technically acceptable.

The awardee will be notified as soon as evaluations are complete and funding is secured (typically within a few days). A rooming list will be provided by the government POC after award is finalized and the awardee is notified. The teaming agreement is only necessary for third party vendors at quote submission. The government does not need nor want a copy of any other agreement/contract between the third party and the hotel after award.
