About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's US Embassy Brasilia issued a sole-source justification notice for a Master Sponsorship agreement with Associacao Laboratorio de Sistemas Integraveis Tecnologico (LSI-TEC) to support FEBRACE 2026, Brazil's premier pre-university STEM fair. The sponsorship package includes logo placement on promotional materials, event communications access, plenary presentation space, an 18 square meter promotional booth, participation in opening and closing ceremonies, and branding across event-related media, with a total estimated contract value of R$250,000.00. The U.S. Embassy justified the sole-source procurement based on LSI-TEC's exclusive authorization to organize and manage FEBRACE, as no other vendor can replicate the sponsorship opportunities and benefits offered through this arrangement. The contract, numbered 19BR2525P1277, was awarded on October 31, 2025, to an undisclosed vendor for an undisclosed amount, though the estimated value identified in the justification documentation is R$250,000.00. The primary strategic objectives include highlighting U.S. leadership in STEM education and innovation, reaching thousands of Brazilian students and educators nationwide, strengthening partnerships with Brazilian STEM institutions, and advancing the mission's broader goals of expanding access to quality STEM education while fostering people-to-people ties between the United States and Brazil.
