The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), operating under the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service, is soliciting offers for the design, construction, support, and teardown of an exhibit booth at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, France. The contractor must design and build a custom 80.5 square meter (10m x 8.5m) booth featuring a reception area, distinguished visitor lounge, storage closet, two meeting rooms with specialized finishes, exhibit walls with graphics, backlit fascia with military service seals, flooring, and a complete electrical system, along with providing on-site support during the trade show. Key personnel requirements include an Exhibit Designer with a Bachelor's degree in graphic or industrial design or five years of trade show experience, and an Exhibit Project Manager with a Bachelor's degree and ten years of relevant experience. The evaluation will employ a three-factor approach with pass/fail technical and personnel commitment requirements, followed by weighted evaluation of Technical Approach & Capability and Past Performance (equally weighted and significantly more important than price), with award to the responsible offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value.
