About this opportunity

The Air Force Test Center Operational Contracting Division at Eglin Air Force Base issued a sole-source justification notice on June 9, 2026, with a response deadline of June 19, 2026, announcing its intent to award a Firm Fixed Price Commercial Purchase Order to T.S. and E. Trade Show and Exhibit Logistics Inc. for specialized maintenance, climate-controlled storage, and full turnkey logistics services supporting a government-owned trade show booth. This is a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers).

Competition is restricted because the proposed contractor possesses proprietary tooling and custom jigs required to maintain the custom-fabricated booth; relocating the asset would void existing warranties and duplicate costs unacceptably. The statutory basis is 41 USC 1901, implemented through FAR 12.102(b) and a Class Deviation effective February 1, 2026. The contract runs from June 1, 2026, through May 30, 2027, in the base period, with option years extending through 2028. Included CLINs cover storage only and turnkey logistics support for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 Air Force Association events. The anticipated award date is June 25, 2026.
