About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on July 30, 2026, for ancillary convention decorator services to Global Experience Specialists, Inc. (GES) supporting the 2026 Association of the United States Army Annual Convention in Washington, DC, scheduled for October 12–14, 2026; the notice carries a response deadline of August 10, 2026. This is a sole-source acquisition with no set-aside. The U.S. Army Recruiting Command Mission Support Battalion, National Conventions Division, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, requires material handling, furniture rental, rigging, equipment rental, labor, carpet, carpet padding, and accessories for the convention. GES was selected as the official convention decorator by the Association of the United States Army, and market research confirmed that no other vendor is authorized to provide these services. The contract period of performance is October 12–14, 2026, funded from Fiscal Year 2026 Operations and Maintenance appropriations. The acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 12 simplified acquisition procedures for commercial services, with certified cost or pricing data not required. The justification notes that failure to approve the sole-source award would prevent the National Conventions Division from accomplishing its assigned mission in support of this high-visibility event.
