About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command's Fleet Logistics Center Pentagon Directorate is procuring recruiting event space and access to the National Leadership and Skills Conference (NLSC) scheduled for June 1-5, 2026. This sole-source acquisition will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 for commercial services, with SkillsUSA Inc. (CAGE: 3HLY6) identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting Navy Recruiting Command requirements. The procurement encompasses a comprehensive partnership package including TECHSPO booth placements in multiple sizes (ranging from 10x20 to 40x60 feet), career cluster sponsorships with focus on health sciences and STEM, booth setup and branding materials, priority booth location selection, upgraded registration quantities, access to exclusive partner lounges, and logo inclusion in SkillsUSA publications and website. The government determined through market research that SkillsUSA is the sole organization hosting this event with verified talent pipelines of career-ready students trained in trade, technical, and skilled occupations critical to Navy operational readiness, making the per-interaction cost significantly lower than broad-based advertising approaches. The solicitation was posted on March 3, 2026, with a response deadline of March 5, 2026, and this combined synopsis/solicitation will be available for download on SAM.gov under RFQ number N0018926QD022.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and will result in a firm-fixed-price purchase order with SkillsUSA Inc. as the sole source contractor. The requirement is classified under NAICS 711320 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities) with a business size standard of 22 million dollars, and PSC code R701 (Support-Management: Advertising). The anticipated performance period runs from June 1, 2026 through June 5, 2026, corresponding with the conference dates. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility, with the place of performance identified as Millington, Tennessee 38054. While specific award value information is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents, the cost-effectiveness analysis supports that the Navy's investment in this partnership provides superior return on investment compared to alternative recruiting approaches, given SkillsUSA's demonstrated access to 3.1 million annual website visitors and talent pipelines aligned with Navy operational needs.
