About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston (MICC Fort Sam Houston) issued a Special Notice on December 16, 2025, announcing an intent to sole source a booth space rental contract. The procurement involves a 50' x 100' booth space at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Fan Fest 2026, scheduled to take place February 26-28, 2026, at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The United States Army Mission Support Battalion (USAMSB) seeks this booth space to enhance their industry outreach and engagement capabilities. This is classified as a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with a contract value not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The NAICS code for this procurement is 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), with a size standard of $20,000,000.
The objective of this procurement is to secure booth space that enables the Army to connect with industry partners and stakeholders at a major collegiate athletic convention. Van Wagner Sports & Entertainment, LLC has been identified as the sole authorized service contractor for the CIAA Fan Fest 2026, justifying the sole source approach, as no other vendors are authorized to provide booth space at this specific event. The contract amount is due by December 22, 2025, with the notice itself posted on December 16, 2025, providing only a one-day window for interested parties to respond by the December 17, 2025 deadline. This procurement does not utilize any set-asides for small businesses or other designated contractor categories. The sole source justification is based on the vendor's exclusive authorization as the official convention service contractor, making competitive bidding impractical for this particular engagement opportunity.
