About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston has issued a Special Notice for a sole-source contract to update wall displays located in the Pentagon's Exterior E Ring. The notice specifically targets the modernization of wall displays for the Army's Headquarters G-1 Front Office and 9/11 Commemorative Displays, which have been in place for over 20 years. The contract is designated as a non-personal service procurement focused on design, fabrication, and installation of new wall displays. The opportunity is set aside exclusively for a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and was posted on April 16, 2025, with a submission deadline of April 17, 2025. The wall displays are intended to enhance morale, cohesion, understanding, and diversity among various audiences, including military personnel, staff, and the general public.
The primary objective of this contract is to modernize existing wall displays that commemorate the history of the U.S. Army, with a specific focus on updating content to cover the period from 2008 to 2028. Blair, Inc., a women-owned small business, has been identified as the sole-source contractor due to its unique qualifications, including extensive history of creating Pentagon wall displays, specialized security clearances, and ability to obtain restrictive building permits. The procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-5, which provides an exception for sole-sourcing to a WOSB in an underrepresented NAICS code. The contract is classified under NAICS Category 541850 (Indoor and Outdoor Display Advertising) and PSC Category R499 (Support- Professional: Other), with a contract value under $4 million for a one-year firm fixed-price term. Market research, including a Sources Sought Notice and Request for Information, confirmed Blair, Inc. as the only vendor capable of providing the specific aesthetic continuity required for the Pentagon displays.
Notice text
This is a non-personal service(s) contract to provide design, fabrication, and installation of wall displays for the Headquarters of the United States Department of the Army (HQDA), Assistant Secretary of the Army (ASA)/Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA)/Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-1 organization, henceforth referred to as the M&RA/G-1 Front Office and Pentagon 9/11 Wall Displays.
M&RA and G-1 have wall displays—regulated by Army Regulation AR 870-20—in the Pentagon’s Exterior E Ring which commemorates the history of the U.S Army. The Exterior E Ring is a high-trafficked area, and the displays are designed to directly benefit morale, cohesion, understanding, and diversity amongst different audiences which includes current HQDA personnel soldiers and staff, aspiring and current functional area officers, Pentagon military and civilian personnel, and the general public. Specifically, the Front Office and Pentagon 9/11 wall displays—which were installed over 20 years ago—are outdated. The Army requires modernization of these walls displays in order to continue attracting and engaging audiences, and to parallel the aesthetic of other more modern Army wall displays in the E Ring.
