About this opportunity

The U.S. Embassy in Seoul, Korea, through the Department of State, is seeking comprehensive Multilateral Summit Planning Services for a youth leadership event scheduled for Summer 2026. The contractor will be responsible for managing all logistics for a three-day summit involving 45 youth leaders aged 18-34 from the United States, Republic of Korea, and Japan, including travel and visa support, accommodation and meal arrangements, ground transportation, venue and event management, on-site participant management, and post-summit debrief coordination in Seoul. The procurement supports U.S. diplomatic objectives of strengthening alliances with Korea and Japan through youth engagement initiatives. Evaluation will be weighted heavily toward references and past performance at 70%, with technical expertise accounting for 20% and cost-effectiveness comprising 10%, emphasizing the need for demonstrated international conference management experience. Critical dates include a pre-quotation conference on September 10, 2025, at 10:00 Korea Standard Time, a deadline for written questions by September 12, 2025, at 17:00 Korea Standard Time, and final quotation submissions due September 22, 2025, at 17:00 Korea Standard Time.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and will be awarded as a purchase order, potentially without discussions based on initial quotations. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, pricing will be based on actual expenses with payment terms of 30 days following invoice submission. The contract performance period spans one year from September 25, 2025, to September 24, 2026, with the primary event execution occurring during Summer 2026. The place of performance is Hawaii, USA, where the three-day summit will be hosted, though coordination activities will involve the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, Korea, and post-event debriefing services will be conducted in Seoul.
