IDIQ - Reverse Trade Missions, Conferences, Workshops, Trainings, and Other Events

The United States Trade and Development Agency is soliciting proposals for a partial small business set-aside IDIQ contract to establish a pool of qualified contractors for the planning, organization, and implementation of partnership-building activities. These activities include reverse trade missions, conferences, forums, workshops, and trainings that may be conducted in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format across various domestic and international locations. Contractors are expected to provide comprehensive event services, including project management, venue and vendor coordination, travel logistics, participant recruitment, agenda development, interpretation, audiovisual support, and post-event evaluation. The agency requires contractors to demonstrate the capacity to manage multiple overlapping events concurrently without compromising quality or performance. The contract utilizes a pricing model consisting of firm-fixed-price daily rates for direct labor—covering roles such as Project Managers, Protocol Specialists, and Logistics Coordinators—and reimbursable costs for other direct expenses. Award decisions will be based on the most advantageous offer, with non-price factors, specifically technical expertise and relevant past performance, being significantly more important than price. The period of performance includes multiple option periods extending through April 3, 2032. Proposals must be submitted in two separate volumes by November 6, 2026, and must adhere to strict formatting and page limits. Selected contractors must comply with various federal regulations, including requirements for Defense Base Act insurance and the safeguarding of controlled unclassified information.
