About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development seeks an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract for end-to-end event planning, logistics, and graphics/marketing support for the 2026 Innovative Housing Showcase, a multi-day event on the National Mall scheduled for May 30, 2026, with proposals due May 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST and questions due April 24, 2026. This procurement is unrestricted (no set-aside).
Place of performance is Washington, DC. Eligible offerors must demonstrate familiarity with National Park Service permitting processes, provide evidence of recent past performance delivering similar services on the National Mall, and obtain NPS approval to perform work on the Mall in September 2026; proposals lacking this documentation shall not be considered for award. The NAICS code is 561920, Convention and Trade Show Organizers; PSC is R706, Support–Management: Logistics Support.
Scope encompasses project management, pre-event planning, event logistics management, and post-event support across four phases, including site planning, exhibitor management, layout design, setup and teardown planning, marketing campaigns, audio/visual coordination, equipment provision (cranes, forklifts, generators), security, first aid, signage, and after-action reporting. The government anticipates approximately 1,000 visitors per day. HUD will not provide budget ceilings or estimated task order values; offerors must size proposals independently based on historical event scale. Upon award, HUD will issue a fixed-price/labor-hour hybrid task order, requiring the contractor to attend a post-award kickoff conference within ten business days.
Evaluation is best-value, considering technical feasibility (not exceeding 15 pages), quality control methodology (not exceeding 2 pages), prime and subcontractor experience over the past five years with National Mall and syndicate-level events (not exceeding 2 pages), past performance references from the three-year period preceding proposal submission with at least one reference demonstrating National Mall experience, and price. Subcontractors performing more than 20 percent of contract value require separate past performance documentation. The prime contractor must perform at least one mission-critical function.
