This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for exhibition space procurement. Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), on behalf of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Kallman Worldwide, Inc. (UEI: FZ12B4FQHVR6) for prime exhibition/booth space within the official USA Partnership Pavilion at Defense Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2027 in London, UK, scheduled for September 7-10, 2027. The required space is 11 meters by 9 meters, totaling 99 square meters. The Product Service Code is X1AB (Lease/Rental of Exhibition Buildings), and the NAICS Code is 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers).

The sole-source justification is based on Kallman Worldwide, Inc.'s exclusive authority as the official organizer, sales representative, and space consolidator for the USA Partnership Pavilions at DSEI. The Government contends that no other vendor or broker is authorized to lease, assign, or sell space within the designated U.S. Pavilion footprint, and that procuring space outside the official pavilion would isolate the Government's exhibit and undermine the strategic and diplomatic mission of the Department of War's presence. Although this is not a competitive solicitation, interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to provide exclusive USA Pavilion venue space by November 19, 2026, to Courtney S. Taitt at courtney.s.taitt.civ@mail.mil. The Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the contract based on submitted responses.

WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1155

Subject: Notice of Intent to Sole Source – USA Pavilion Exhibit Space for Defense Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2027 Notice Type: Special Notice / Notice of Intent to Sole Source Product Service Code (PSC): X1AB – Lease/Rental of Exhibition Buildings NAICS Code: 561920 – Convention and Trade Show Organizers

1. Description of Requirement Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), on behalf of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of prime exhibition/booth space within the official USA Partnership Pavilions at the following upcoming international defense exhibition:

1. DSEI 2027 (London, UK)

1. Dates: September 7-10, 2027

2. Required Space: 11m x 9m, for a total exhibit space of 99 square meters

2. Sole Source Justification & Authority:

This commercial acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 12.102(a), which requires the documentation of decisions to restrict competition for acquisitions valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

Kallman Worldwide, Inc. (UEI: FZ12B4FQHVR6) is the exclusive organizer, sales representative, and space consolidator for the official USA Partnership Pavilions at DSEI. No other vendor or broker has the authority to lease, assign, or sell space within the designated U.S. Pavilion footprint at this event. Attempting to procure space outside of the official USA Pavilion would isolate the Government’s exhibit from the centralized U.S. delegation, severely impacting the strategic and diplomatic mission of the DoW presence.

Therefore, Kallman Worldwide, Inc., is the only source capable of satisfying the Government's requirements.

3. Response Instructions & Capability Statements This notice is not a request for competitive proposals or quotations. However, in accordance with FAR 5.101(c)(4)(vi), any responsible source that believes it can provide the required exclusive USA Pavilion venue space may submit a capability statement.

All capability statements must be submitted electronically to the Contracting Point of Contact listed below no later than November 19, 2026. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
