WA ANG Recruiting Sole Source for Billboard Advertising in Tacoma, WA

The Washington Air National Guard Recruiting Office is pursuing a sole-source acquisition to secure billboard advertising space in the Tacoma, WA region through Pacific Outdoor Advertising LLC, the exclusive owner and operator of the targeted billboard inventory along the I-5 corridor. The contract, identified by solicitation number W50S9E26QRD04, is anticipated to be awarded by May 20, 2026, following a notice posted on May 5, 2026, with no competitive bidding due to the unique and irreplaceable nature of the advertising locations under Pacific Outdoor Advertising's control. The scope of work involves placing recruiting advertisements on four designated billboards for an 8.75-week period to enhance visibility and outreach to potential recruits in the Tacoma area, with performance based at Camp Murray, Washington, 98430. The estimated contract value is fixed at $35,000, with no option periods, line-item breakdowns, or detailed pricing structure provided, reflecting a simplified acquisition under NAICS code 541810 for advertising services. There are no specified delivery or packaging requirements, as the contract involves services rather than physical goods, and no inspection, quality, or technical performance standards are defined beyond the duration and placement of the advertisements. The contracting officer, Ryan Dugan, is responsible for administration, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The acquisition is justified solely under FAR 6.302-1 due to the absence of alternative sources capable of providing access to these specific billboard assets. No contract clauses, representations, certifications, or special requirements beyond the sole-source determination are included, and no formal submission guidelines, proposal formats, or evaluation factors are outlined, consistent with the non-competitive nature of the procurement. Payment details, invoicing procedures, and accounting codes are not specified, though the agency classification is W50S9E. The offeror’s unique entity identifier, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are not disclosed in the documentation.
