About this opportunity
The 194th Wing Contracting Office intends to award sole-source status to First WA Robotics Team for a League Sponsorship Level — Full Season advertising partnership, with a pre-solicitation comment deadline of August 8, 2026. The procurement is set aside 100% for small business.
The requirement centers on official statewide access to Washington's FIRST robotics ecosystem, including FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition teams, events, mentors, volunteers, and program infrastructure. First WA Robotics Team is identified as the only practicable source because it runs all aspects of FIRST programs within Washington State and the Pacific Northwest FRC District and maintains the specialized event, field, volunteer, school, and team infrastructure necessary to engage students statewide. The justification asserts that direct sponsorship is the sole method to accomplish the requirement and that any other source would constitute an unnecessary third party.
Work falls under NAICS 541890 (Other Services Related to Advertising) and PSC R701 (Support—Management: Advertising).
