About this opportunity
The Kentucky Army National Guard is procuring lodging and catering services for the Yellow Ribbon Program supporting the 201st EN BN, a two-day event scheduled for May 28-29, 2026, at the Boyd Convention and Arts Center in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. This Firm-Fixed-Price contract acquisition will be conducted as a competitive Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR Parts 12 and 19, meaning only certified Small Business concerns are eligible to submit proposals. The formal solicitation will be issued on or around April 17, 2026, with a pre-solicitation notice deadline of April 16, 2026, providing interested vendors with a brief window to prepare for the upcoming competitive process. The government will evaluate proposals based on criteria outlined in the forthcoming Performance Work Statement, though specific evaluation standards have not yet been detailed in this preliminary announcement. All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain Small Business certification status at the time of proposal submission to be considered for award; any non-compliant proposals will be rejected.
This opportunity represents a Total Small Business Set-Aside with no current incumbent identified in the pre-solicitation notice, and no specific award value or budget range has been disclosed at this stage. The contract duration is limited to the two-day event period from May 28-29, 2026, indicating this is a short-term, event-based procurement rather than an ongoing service contract. The solicitation and all subsequent amendments will be posted on SAM.gov through the PIEE system, where eligible small businesses should monitor for the formal request for proposals expected in mid-April 2026. Small Business concerns interested in competing should ensure their Small Business certification and SPRS registration are current well in advance of the anticipated April 17 solicitation release date. This pre-solicitation notice serves purely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal request for proposals or commitment to award.
