Sponsorship of 2016 fetc conference

The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to participate as a platinum sponsor of the FETC 2016, 36th National Conference on a sole source basis. The conference will be held in Orlando, Florida on January 12-15, 2016.

FETC is the content-rich conference that brings education leaders and technology experts together to exchange techniques and strategies for teaching and learning success. Known worldwide for its outstanding program, FETC provides educators and administrators the opportunity to explore the integration of technology across the curriculum-from kindergarten to college-through hands-on exposure to the latest hardware, software and successful strategies. FETC offers a wealth of information for all education professions-teachers, principals and deans, district administrators, curriculum designers, media specialists, technology directors and others.

As a sponsor, NSF can reach out to a large number of participants at a fraction of the cost of holding its own event. Under the order, the funding will cover the costs of exhibit space and kiosk within the incubator pavilion, furnishings, link on website and mobile app electricity and internet usage, and signage and supplies.

The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to sponsor with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This synopsis is for informational purposes only.
