About this file

This is a Sources Sought notice and accompanying technical specifications for a graduation backdrop for the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, CO. The project involves modifying an existing backdrop frame by removing the current fascia and printing new vinyl paneling with specific design requirements, including Academy Blue background color, Polaris Hall images in four different colors (silver, gold, red, blue) for different graduating classes, and Air Force logos in a step-and-repeat pattern. The contractor must provide padded storage containers, labeling, and instruction manuals for setup and teardown.

Interested parties must submit responses by 2:00 PM MST on January 17, 2025, to Kenneth Jackson and April Delobel via email. Respondents should include their business size, socioeconomic status, UEI, CAGE Code, SAM expiration date, technical capabilities, and images of similar completed projects. While open to businesses of all sizes, the government is particularly interested in small business participation including 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and VOSB. No funds are currently available, and this notice does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the government.
