DeHaven, with Joseph Hupp as secondary, and all submissions must address core capability requirements including documented field experience, social media reach, and access to certified TACP mentors. The event is scheduled to take place in Boise, Idaho, with all performance duties localized to that area, and responses will inform the Government’s future acquisition strategy for supporting TACP recruitment through immersive, high-impact experiences.
