The pavilion will support 23,000+ daily visitors for six months (October–March).

Scope includes comprehensive exhibition design implementing the Department of State's creative brief, audio-visual materials, security program development in coordination with Saudi authorities, and final tear-down and removal. The estimated budget is $55–65 million. No facility or personnel security clearances are required. Submissions must address joint venture arrangements, technical project experience in design-build capabilities, financial management and organizational capability, firm organization and management processes, with specified page limits and formatting requirements. Responses are due by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 11, 2026, via electronic submission to CO Jennifer Leung at LeungJB@fan.gov.
