About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Knox intends to sole-source a firm-fixed-price contract to State Fair of Texas for convention booth space and sponsorship at the 2026 State Fair of Texas, with responses due by September 4, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The procurement supports community engagement and direct recruitment outreach for the Dallas-Fort Worth U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion during the fair's October 9–11 and October 15–18 operations.
This action is conducted under FAR Part 12 (simplified acquisition procedures for commercial products and services) justified by the State Fair of Texas's status as the sole entity authorized to grant exhibitor access to this event. Market research confirms the fair is non-substitutable, attracting over two million annual visitors and offering unique demographic reach and exclusive access rights unavailable through alternative venues. No other vendor can compete for this requirement.
Although no competitive solicitation will be posted, interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating ability to meet the requirement, including relevant experience, pricing, and supporting documentation, to Contract Specialist Kelly Tipple (kelly.m.tipple.civ@army.mil) and Contracting Officer Joseph R. Lawrence (joseph.r.lawrence3.civ@army.mil). The anticipated award date is September 2026. The prior-year procurement for the same event (W9124D25PA247) was valued at $25,000.
