Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate, acting on behalf of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), has issued a Notice of Intent to sole source a contract to Kallman Worldwide Inc. for exhibit space services at the Avalon Australian International Air Show in Geelong, Australia. The contract is set aside for small businesses and falls under the Construction of Exhibit Design (Non-Building) category. WHS has determined that Kallman Worldwide Inc., headquartered in Waldwick, New Jersey, is the only responsible source capable of meeting the government's requirements.

The contract seeks comprehensive exhibit space services for the Department of War at the airshow, encompassing all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and related non-personal services necessary to establish and maintain the exhibit. The performance period is scheduled for February 23, 2027, through February 28, 2027, with the contract type being firm-fixed-price. All interested contractors must submit their responses to whs.ncr.ad.mbx.dsca-group@mail.mil by 3:00 PM EDT on Monday, April 20, 2026. While WHS is considering other proposals, the agency retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source award or conduct a subsequent competitive procurement based on submitted materials. Interested parties should note that the government will not be responsible for any costs incurred in preparing and submitting capability statements or proposals.
