About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Family, Morale, Welfare, and Recreation issued a Request for Information inviting vendor participation in the 2026 McNamara Headquarters Complex Fall Festival on October 28, 2026, at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with vendor responses due by September 4, 2026. This is market research only and does not constitute a binding contract.
The festival will draw over 7,000 Department of War personnel, Warfighters, and families from four major defense agencies: DLA, Defense Contract Audit Agency, Defense Technical Information Center, and Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The event features a themed 5K Fun Run and outdoor Farmers Market. Vendors may select from three participation options: tabling at $250 per 6-foot table (includes two chairs); custom event sponsorships with tiered pricing for brand alignment; and digital, print, and physical advertising placements. DLA FMWR provides one table and two chairs per vendor; vendors supply their own displays, weather protection, and logistics.
All selected vendors must meet Fort Belvoir security requirements, including background checks, vehicle inspections at the commercial gate, and valid REAL ID-compliant federal or state identification. Interested parties must complete the Vendor Response Form in the RFI (NAFUA1-26-I-0005) and submit it to Michael B. Thompson, Contracting Officer, at michael.3.thompson@dla.mil or call 571-643-3754.
