About this opportunity
The Mission Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Knox, acting on behalf of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), is seeking a firm-fixed price contract for comprehensive event management services to support the HQDA Best Squad Competition Community Event at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. from October 10-12, 2025. The contractor must provide extensive fitness equipment including 15 stationary bikes, 15 ski ergs, kettlebells, D-balls, weighted vests, a mobile stage, tents, generators, sound equipment, and portable facilities, along with specialized personnel including six Level 3 CrossFit certified judges, one Level 4 certified judge, medical staff (two EMTs and one Advanced EMT/Paramedic), and a Master of Ceremonies. Planning services must begin August 1, 2025, with event setup occurring from 0800-2100 EST on October 10 and teardown completed by 1600 on October 12, 2025. The contract will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, and vendors must submit quotes via email by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on July 22, 2025, with the subject line "USAREC HQDA2 BEST SQUAD COMPETITION-RFQ."
This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) with a size standard of $19 million. The solicitation has undergone multiple amendments (P00001, P00002, and P00003) to address industry questions and update the Performance Work Statement, with the most recent amendment extending the response deadline to July 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. While the original SF 1449 shows a total award amount of $19 million, this appears to be the NAICS size standard rather than the actual contract value, as no specific contract value has been disclosed. The event is designed to enhance Army recruitment efforts by showcasing military fitness capabilities and fostering community engagement through competitions for Best Squad of the Year, Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year, and Soldier of the Year. Performance will occur primarily at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall at Fort McNair identified as an alternate location, and the contractor must comply with National Park Service guidelines while providing overnight security for equipment.
