AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Air Force, through the 771 Enterprise Sourcing Squadron, has issued a draft Request for Quotation (RFQ) under solicitation number FA800326Q0010-DRAFT, amended on 28 July 2026, to solicit turnkey conference support services for the AFMEDCOM POM Working Group meeting. This draft is strictly for market research and does not constitute a formal solicitation; no quotes or proposals are currently being accepted, and the Government will not reimburse any costs incurred by industry in response to this notice. The requirement is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561920, targeting event planners with experience in coordinating large-scale conference logistics. The work involves securing a single commercial hotel within five miles of the Defense Health Headquarters in Falls Church, Virginia, to host a conference from 13 to 18 September 2026. The contractor must provide an all-inclusive firm-fixed-price package covering a minimum 1,200 square foot main conference space configured for 80 attendees, a breakout room for 10 personnel, a block of 35 lodging rooms at or below the GSA JTR rate of $275 per night, and a fully operational audiovisual system with on-site technical support, all ready by 0800 on 14 September 2026. No food, beverage, or auxiliary hotel fees such as labor, rigging, or vendor exclusivity charges may be billed to the Government; these must be fully absorbed into the fixed-price contract line item. Offerors must submit a signed Hotel Coordination Attestation confirming hotel availability and compliance with fee restrictions, and a formal Small Business certification, along with their UEI and CAGE codes, through two distinct electronic files—one for technical response and one for pricing in MS Excel. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, where technical compliance is a pass-fail threshold and award will go to the lowest total evaluated price among all technically acceptable responses. Key submission guidelines require responses to be no more than two pages for administrative information and five pages for technical details, with no page limits for pricing. Response submissions must be sent by email to the designated contracting officer and contract specialist by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on 11 August 2026, and all inquiries must be submitted via the official Q&A spreadsheet.
