About this opportunity
The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) is seeking to procure a Graduation Stage Backdrop through the 10th Contracting Squadron, with a focus on creating a custom backdrop for upcoming graduation ceremonies. The solicitation calls for a firm-fixed-price contract to design and manufacture backdrop panels with specific design requirements, including an Academy Blue background, Polaris Hall images representing different graduating classes, and Air Force logos. The technical requirements are detailed in the Salient Characteristics attachment, which specifies modifications to an existing aluminum frame and the creation of new vinyl panels with precise color and graphic specifications. Quotes must be submitted by February 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, with evaluation based on technical capability, past performance, and price factors. The government will use NAICS code 339950 (Sign Manufacturing) for this procurement, with a size standard of 500 employees.
This solicitation is designated as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to submit quotes for the contract. The backdrop project requires delivery within 60 days after order receipt, with F.O.B. Destination to the Air Force Academy in Colorado. The base requirement includes Polaris Hall Panels for the Class of 2025, with optional panels for future graduating classes (2026-2028). The total project involves creating five panel sections: a 32' wide by 16' tall main section and two 18' wide by 16' tall side sections. While specific award value is not disclosed, the contract includes provisions for padded storage containers, labeled components, instruction manuals, and a minimum 1-year warranty.
