--Provide All Audio, Audio Distribution, Broadcast Mix Audio Equipment.

The Department of Defense, specifically the Contract Center of Excellence within the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), plans to award a sole source contract to Maryland Sound International Holding Company, LLC, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The contract involves providing all necessary show audio, audio distribution, and broadcast mix audio equipment for three events, including additional labor support for the load-in and strike of the Oak Ridge Boys performance. A significant concern addressed in the contract is the impact of large audio towers, which are described as unsightly and oversized, potentially obstructing the sight lines for cameras, press, and the audience at the memorial site. Additionally, the physical footprint of these towers may restrict the security detail responsible for the President’s safety. The contracting opportunity was announced on September 4, 2008, with a deadline for interested parties to express their interest within two days by September 5, 2008, at 4:00 pm EST. The solicitation number for the contract is W91WAW-08-T-0140, classified under the NAICS code 512191 relevant to audio and visual services. The point of contact for this procurement is Vale Teo-Lewis, a Contract Specialist, who can be reached via phone or email.
