About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston has issued a special notice regarding their intent to sole source ancillary services for the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2025 Annual Meeting. The procurement specifically covers internet, phone, cable television rental, labor, and technical support services that will be provided at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The services are required by the United States Army Mission Support Battalion (USAMSB) to support their ability to connect with industry during the conference. The procurement falls under NAICS code 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers) with a size standard of $20 million and PSC code S216 (Housekeeping-Facilities Operations Support). The special notice was posted on August 14, 2025, with a response deadline of August 18, 2025.
The purpose of this sole source procurement is to secure essential convention services for the AUSA Annual Meeting scheduled for October 13-15, 2025, with completion required by September 12, 2025. The government has identified Smart City Networks, Limited Partnership, as the sole source provider because they are the official convention service contractor for the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, with no other vendors authorized to provide these specific ancillary services. Market research has confirmed Smart City Networks as the only capable provider for these requirements. The procurement follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Given the sole source nature of this procurement, there are no competitive opportunities available to other contractors, as the government has determined that only Smart City Networks can fulfill these specialized convention center ancillary service requirements. The contracting activity is managed by MICC-Fort Knox on behalf of the U.S. Army Mission Support Battalion's National Conventions Division.
