About this opportunity
The Department of State awarded a sole-source contract to Abdullah Catering & Tent Services, Pakistan for event design, entertainment, and decoration services supporting the Freedom 250 celebration on June 6, 2026, with an estimated total value of $102,300.
The justification cites urgency and monetary/schedule impact under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition. Dangerous weather forced relocation of the original June 4 VVIP event from an outdoor venue to the U.S. Embassy Islamabad's Community Multipurpose Room, which has limited guest capacity. The compressed two-day timeline to June 6 makes it infeasible to disassemble existing event structures and engage a different vendor. Required services include comprehensive event production: a Times Square-themed area, guest greeting space, stage with lighting and screens, metal canopy structure with lighting and bunting, floor base and carpeting, relocation and reuse of non-perishable decor from the June 4 event, display panels, and repair or reprinting of damaged materials from the previous event. The vendor has demonstrated experience supporting large Embassy events accommodating 300–400 attendees and previously performed services at the facility. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated price to be fair and reasonable. Place of performance is Pakistan. The Public Affairs Officer and Contracting Officer certified the justification on June 5, 2026.
