About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source procurement for event management services related to Vector Week 2026. The notice indicates the CDC's intent to award a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Colorado State University's Conference and Event Services (CSU CES) located in Fort Collins, Colorado. This Special Notice was posted on December 27, 2025, and represents a procurement under $250,000 justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits sole source acquisitions when only one source is reasonably available. The procurement falls under the Convention and Trade Show Organizers NAICS category and the Support-Management: Logistics Support PSC category.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure comprehensive conference and event management services for Vector Week 2026, a biennial grantee and recipient meeting scheduled for March 11-13, 2026, in Fort Collins, Colorado. CSU CES will provide integrated services including venue space for 400 attendees, event planning and coordination, registration management, audio/visual support, and onsite logistical support for approximately 400 participants from 60 states, territories, and large municipalities, as well as representatives from Regional Centers of Excellence and Training and Evaluation Centers. Interested parties must submit written documentation demonstrating their capability to provide similar services by January 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, though the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the contract. The CDC determined that CSU CES is the only source reasonably available to meet the full range of required event management services at the specified location, as other local hotels cannot provide the comprehensive planning and management capabilities needed for this conference.
