About the company
Populous Event Inc., a for-profit event management company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, operates as a prime contractor exclusively to the Department of the Army, delivering comprehensive planning, logistics, and execution services for the Department of Defense Warrior Games and U.S. Invictus Games Team adaptive sports competitions. The company competes full-and-open with no set-aside designations across its federal portfolio. Populous Event Inc. holds NAICS 711410 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities) and performs work under PSC code G-Support Professional services.
The company's federal footprint concentrates entirely within the Army. TRADOC (Training and Doctrine Command) accounts for 100% of awards by customer concentration, anchoring 13 awards valued at $69 million in combined potential value. A second Army customer, the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), holds 3 awards worth $2 million. One outlier award from the Department of the Air Force ($22.1 million combined potential value) represents a single contract, and nominal awards from the Department of State and Army Installation Management Command complete the set. TRADOC dominates both volume and dollar rankings without tension between them.
Populous Event Inc. holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC W900KK22D0006) with TRADOC valued at $49 million and running through May 1, 2027, under which 14 task orders carrying $21.9 million in combined potential value have been issued. Representative task orders include a $1.88 million delivery order awarded April 15, 2026, for 2026 Warrior Games support (planning, execution, transportation, venue management, adaptive sports equipment procurement, athlete support, media and live-streaming, ceremony coordination, and signage and medal production); a $2.28 million delivery order from April 30, 2025, for 2025 Warrior Games comprehensive support; and an $11.17 million delivery order from May 2, 2022, for Defense Warrior Games event management covering the full scope of planning, logistics, adaptive equipment, venue rentals, transportation, and media services through May 1, 2027. Additional work flows through PEO STRI on smaller adaptive equipment and logistics task orders for the Warrior Games.
Activity peaked in 2022–2023 (five awards per year) and has declined to one award in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, one award (the $11.17 million TRADOC IDC task order with May 1, 2027 completion) faces recompete, representing the primary near-term opportunity for competitors or teaming partners. The vendor has obligated $41.6 million across its $93.5 million potential-value portfolio, indicating selective draw-down or task order sequencing rather than full utilization to date.
