This document is a NASA Shared Services Center Recommendation and Determination to Solicit from One Source or Brand Name for the GEM Annual Conference and Student Travel. NASA recommends negotiating solely with The National GEM Consortium for the sponsorship, with a total estimated cost that is redacted and a performance period from September 11-13, 2025. The justification indicates this is the only vendor currently available, and NASA's Fellowships Activity maintains a close partnership with the GEM Consortium. The document notes that this vendor will support NASA's reputation through a sponsorship package for their Annual Board Meeting and Conference, and is the only entity that can meet the specific requirement. A similar award was previously issued for the 2023 GEM Conference.
