About this opportunity
The United States Marine Corps issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on November 20, 2025, for the rental of a concert hall to support the U.S. Marine Band's Fiscal Year 2026 Concert Series. The agency intends to award a firm fixed price contract on a sole source basis to the Virginia Community College System Office's Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center located in Alexandria, Virginia. The contract action is being pursued under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, with the authority cited as FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits sole source awards when only one source is reasonably available. The estimated contract value is $126,733.10, and the opportunity was posted on November 20, 2025, with a response deadline of November 25, 2025. This Notice of Intent provides other interested sources with a five-day window to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration before the award is finalized.
The primary objective of this contract is to secure venue rental and comprehensive support services for a series of free public concerts in the Washington metropolitan area designed to further the U.S. Marine Band's community outreach mission. The concert series will run from January 16, 2026, to May 3, 2026, encompassing approximately 14-16 days of facility rental across multiple event types, including rehearsals, performances, and recording sessions. The contractor must provide specialized services including auditorium rental, a 9' Concert Grand Piano with tuning, lighting equipment, technical personnel, campus police, and full facility access for an audience capacity of 950-1,000 with a stage measuring 44' x 58'. Although the government has indicated its intention to sole source the award, the notice explicitly states that all interested and responsible sources may submit proposals or quotations for agency consideration, ensuring transparency in the procurement process. Contractors responding to this opportunity must be capable of providing comprehensive venue management and technical support services to accommodate a professional military band's performance and recording requirements.
