SelectUSA Investment Summit Sponsorship

The Florida Department of Commerce's Division of Economic Development is pursuing a single-source procurement for a Diamond sponsorship package at the SelectUSA Investment Summit, scheduled for May 3-6, 2026, in National Harbor, Maryland. The procurement, identified as PUR 7776, involves acquiring a comprehensive event sponsorship from eventPower (Direct Marketing Productions, Inc.) for an estimated $44,009.00. The sponsorship includes eight full summit registrations, four exhibition hall-only passes, and a 20 x 20 booth in the exhibition hall. Additional benefits encompass multimedia promotional opportunities such as a PowerPoint slide and 30-45 second video during the plenary session, logo placement on marketing materials and digital platforms, shared break or breakfast sponsorship, and a rotating banner ad and push notification through the SelectUSA ShoApp. The procurement's key objectives are to facilitate business investment, provide professional development and networking opportunities, and position Florida competitively in attracting investment. The solicitation was posted on December 9, 2025, with a response deadline of January 2, 2026, at 2:46 PM.

The procurement appears to be a direct, single-source acquisition without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The sponsorship is specifically targeting the Bureau of Business Development's engagement with business owners, leaders, and legislators at a nationally prominent event. There are no mentioned incumbent vendors beyond eventPower, and no explicit infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The contract allows for potential booth expansion to 20 x 40 for an additional fee. The total procurement value is precisely $44,009.00, which covers the Diamond sponsorship package and associated event benefits. The procurement is specifically tied to Leon County (FIPS Code 12073) and represents a strategic investment by the Florida Department of Commerce to enhance the state's economic development visibility and networking capabilities at a high-profile investment summit.
