The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) intends to issue a sole source purchase order to the Renaissance Swim and Fitness Club, 941 9th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20001. The Renaissance Swim and Fitness club will provide to OJP employees usage of the club's athletic equipment and the participation of OJP employees in the club's fitness classes. In an effort to support the Health and Fitness Program for the wellness of the Office of Justice Programs employees, OJP will subsidize a portion of employees membership fees. This order is authorized by 5 U.S.C. section 7901 and promotes and maintains the physical and mental fitness of OJP employees. The health and well being of OJP employees are essential to the accomplishment of OJP's mission to improve employee morale, boost employee productivity by preventing illness and improving physical and mental health, leading to better work attendance.
