Purchase Order HSCGG809PPPN030

The U.S. government awarded a purchase order to Allied Convention Service, Inc. (doing business as Brede Exposition Services) on December 3, 2008, for conference booth structure, flooring, graphics, and associated labor services. The contract, valued at $8,381.00, was awarded on a sole source basis with justification documented in the award file. The work was performed in Washington, DC 20593, with an ultimate completion date of December 19, 2008. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.

The soliciting agency and the specific conference or event associated with this booth structure are not identified in the available award documentation. Given the sole source justification requirement and the specialized nature of exposition services, the government determined that Allied Convention Service, Inc. possessed unique capabilities or held an existing relationship necessary to fulfill the conference booth requirements within the compressed timeline. The relatively modest contract value and short performance period suggest this was a time-sensitive procurement to support a near-term government conference or trade show participation.
