The Product and Service Code (PSC) X1JA covers Lease/Rental of Museums and Exhibition Buildings, encompassing a diverse range of venue rental services for federal government agencies. These services include renting performance halls, exhibition spaces, museum facilities, and event venues for various purposes such as concerts, ceremonies, graduations, trade shows, and cultural events. The rentals support government agencies' needs for hosting public and internal events across military, diplomatic, educational, and cultural domains.
Federal Contract Awards under this PSC category show a consistent pattern of firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from $6,779 to $82,570, typically with performance periods of several months to three years. Frequent award recipients include non-profit organizations like the Journey Museum, Northern Virginia Community College, and the Independence Seaport Museum, as well as for-profit entities such as Nautalia Viajes SL and Monumental Sports & Entertainment. Key funding agencies include the Department of State, Department of Defense (particularly U.S. Navy and Air Force), Department of the Interior, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Most awards do not utilize set-aside designations, indicating open competition, and performance locations span across the United States and occasionally international venues.
Recent Federal Contract Opportunities demonstrate a continued demand for versatile venue rental services. Notable opportunities include the U.S. Air Force's search for performance venues for the Band of the West Holiday in Blue concerts in Texas, the Naval Supply Systems Command seeking an event venue near Fort Lesley J. McNair for a National Defense University reception, and the U.S. Special Operations Command requesting facility support services for Special Forces Qualification Course graduation ceremonies in North Carolina. These opportunities typically require detailed specifications such as audience capacity, technical capabilities, location constraints, and specific event support services.
