This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) regarding Solicitation W9133L24R3018 for conference services and facility space in support of the Army National Guard Bureau's (ARNG) annual Modernization Equipping Requirements Conference (MERC) in May 2024.

The solicitation is 100% set-aside for small businesses under NAICS code 721110. It requires a contractor to provide a high-quality venue, secure and professional meeting space, and audiovisual services for the MERC event. Invoicing will be through the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. The meeting space does not need to be set up the day prior, but audiovisual equipment must be tested on the morning of the event. A tax-exempt form will be provided, and the contractor will only invoice for the meeting space and audiovisual services, as attendees will pay for their own lodging and meals. The event dates are fixed and cannot be changed. The hotel must be located within the National Capital Region, between Arlington and Leesburg, Virginia. Quotes are due by April 26, 2024.
