About this opportunity
The Delaware Army National Guard is seeking vendor feedback on a Draft Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Yellow Ribbon Conference Support Services scheduled for May 12, 2026. The procurement encompasses facility rental, meal services, and audiovisual support for the conference event. The Department of the Army National Guard is soliciting input from industry partners to refine the RFQ before formal release. Feedback is being requested on four key areas: the clarity and commercial viability of the performance work statement's salient characteristics and acceptance criteria; the sufficiency of vendor instructions for comparative evaluation; any contractual clauses that may restrict competition or deviate from commercial practice; and identification of cost drivers, performance risks, or competitive barriers. Interested parties must submit feedback to Joseph.Scarpa6.CIV@army.mil by the March 25, 2026 deadline, with the final RFQ expected to be posted on SAM.gov through the PIEE Solicitation Module on or about March 30, 2026.
This pre-solicitation opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to small business entities. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide a specific award value or budget range for the contract. No award will be made from this draft solicitation notice, as participation is voluntary and intended solely to gather industry feedback at no cost to the Government. The service event itself is scheduled for a single day on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, suggesting this is a discrete, time-specific procurement rather than an ongoing service contract. Interested small businesses should note that submission of feedback during this pre-solicitation phase does not constitute a formal proposal submission and carries no financial obligation.
