About this opportunity
The Department of State intends to award a sole-source contract to Precision Pro (Chennai, India) for comprehensive audio-visual and decor services for the Freedom 250 event in Bengaluru on September 6, 2026, on the basis of a JOFOC filed under 41 USC 3304 and FAR 6.103.
The justification rests on two grounds: only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements, and unusual and compelling urgency arising from the event's fixed date combined with a late scope-split decision that separated AV and decor services from the hotel venue contract after the event timeline was established. Precision Pro was previously selected through competitive process for a comparable F250 event at ITC Grand Chola, Chennai, where it demonstrated excellent performance under time-sensitive conditions including reliable setup, technical support, and coordination. The contract is Firm-Fixed-Price with a base value of $31,307 plus Goods and Services Tax of $5,636, totaling $36,943. Services encompass event dressing and decor, stage and audiovisual equipment, lighting, live-music technical support, backdrops, signage, queue management, floral arrangements, photography and videography, music licensing and playback, and transportation and dismantling. Setup begins the evening prior to the event, with dismantling following the event's conclusion. The Contracting Officer determined the price fair and reasonable based on comparison to prior F250 event pricing and itemized cost analysis, with direct engagement also avoiding $25,318 in hotel subcontract charges and GST. Market research was limited to internal review of Precision Pro's documented performance within the past 12 months. Contract award date was September 3, 2026.
