Dufour & Co Productions LLC

Dufour & Co Productions LLC, doing business as The Dufour Collaborative, provides federal event management and logistics services as a prime contractor (73% of recent awards) and subcontractor, competing exclusively in full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The Arlington, Virginia–based for-profit limited liability company has held federal contractor status since at least 2014 and delivers comprehensive event planning, management, and logistics support to civilian agencies across diplomatic, cultural, and defense sectors.

The Dufour Collaborative's customer base concentrates heavily on a small set of high-value agencies. The Smithsonian Institution dominates the portfolio, accounting for 2 awards with $3.6 million combined potential value and representing the largest single customer relationship; representative work includes a $1.9 million firm fixed-price definitive contract for the Smithsonian's centennial celebration event planning (awarded June 17, 2022, completed September 11, 2024) and a $1.6 million event management contract awarded September 26, 2024, with completion through March 5, 2026. The U.S. Agency for International Development follows with 3 awards, but split across two separate bureaus (the Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs with 2 awards totaling $924 thousand, and the Bureau for Management Office of the Assistant Administrator with 3 awards). Secondary customers include the Washington Headquarters Service (a $671 thousand NATO Summit Defense Ministerial Dinner Event contract awarded May 3, 2024), the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations ($296 thousand for arts and frames for international embassies, awarded July 19, 2023), and the National Endowment for the Arts ($292 thousand). The top five customers account for 82% of recent awards.

Activity has clustered in recent years, with one award in 2022, one in 2023, five in 2024, and most recently a $37 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Secret Service on July 1, 2026, for tents, bike racks, and generator services in Medora, North Dakota. The portfolio spans 11 total awards (8 prime, 3 sub) with combined potential value of $5.8 million, of which $3.5 million has been obligated. In its subcontractor capacity, Dufour serves as an event management vendor to DAI Global LLC under USAID Prosper Africa trade and investment initiatives, supporting UNGA events and regional business roundtables and roadshows. Capability classification reflects the portfolio's breadth — top NAICS categories include All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services and Convention and Trade Show Organizers; top PSC codes span professional support and logistics support services. Work performance occurs at multiple locations, including Washington, D.C., Arlington and Rosslyn, Virginia, Atlanta, Georgia, and international embassy locations.
