FY25 - logistical services coordination - senior fest (CBE, SBE vendors only)

The District of Columbia is seeking logistical services coordination for Senior Fest in Fiscal Year 2025, with a specific procurement focused on event management and coordination. This contract opportunity requires vendors to provide comprehensive logistical support for senior-focused community events, potentially including planning, scheduling, vendor management, venue coordination, and participant engagement services. The procurement is time-sensitive, with a posting date of May 6, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of May 12, 2025. While specific detailed requirements are not fully outlined in the provided information, the contract appears to demand professional event coordination expertise with a target demographic of senior citizens. The procurement seems to prioritize efficient and effective event management that ensures a high-quality experience for senior participants. Vendors will likely need to demonstrate strong organizational skills, experience with senior-focused events, and the ability to execute complex logistical arrangements within a compressed timeframe.

This contract opportunity is exclusively reserved for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors, creating a targeted procurement environment that supports local and small business development. These restrictions suggest the District of Columbia is intentionally creating procurement opportunities for smaller, locally-based businesses with a focus on supporting the local economic ecosystem. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available information, such municipal event coordination contracts typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 depending on event scale and complexity. The set-aside designation indicates that only businesses meeting specific size and local certification criteria will be eligible to compete for this contract. Vendors interested in responding will need to demonstrate current CBE or SBE certification, relevant experience in event logistics, and the capacity to effectively coordinate senior-focused community events within the District of Columbia's parameters.
