This RFP constitutes a formal solicitation for commercial services in accordance with attached Submission and Evaluation Instructions, Statement of Work, and Pricing Schedule. DOL Wage
Determination No. 2015-4281 applies as revised. Funding has been appropriated; the Government fully intends to issue an award as a result of this competitive RFP. The anticipated award will be issued as a firm fixed-price contract using FAR Subpart 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The NAICS code for this procurement is 561920 Event and Meeting Planning Services, with a size standard of $12M. IAW with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 19.502-2, the Government shall set-aside all procurements with a dollar threshold between $10,000 and $250,000 for small business concerns. This procurement is therefore, pursued as a 100 percent set-aside for small business concerns.

NOTE: ALL SIZED BUSINESSES ARE ENCOURAGED TO OFFER A PROPOSAL. HOWEVER, PROPOSALS PROVIDED BY LARGE BUSINESSES WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED IF THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RECEIVE AN ACCEPTABLE PROPOSAL FROM A SMALL BUSINESS.
