Resolution for Use of Annenberg Beach House with French National Olympic CommitteeThe City of Santa Monica has authorized temporary waivers from specific provisions of its Municipal Code to permit the French National Olympic Committee to utilize the Annenberg Beach House as an interactive broadcast and event space during the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. This arrangement is scheduled to run from June 30, 2028, through August 4, 2028, and is intended to support France’s Olympic communications and public engagement efforts on-site. The waivers are necessary to accommodate the unique operational needs of the committee while ensuring compliance with local regulations is balanced against the international significance of the event. The initiative is being managed by the City of Santa Monica, with Rachel Kwok, Environmental Planner, listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. The facility’s use during this window represents a strategic partnership to enhance the Olympic experience in Santa Monica, leveraging the Annenberg Beach House’s prominent coastal location for global visibility. All activities will be confined to the specified dates, and the temporary nature of the use means no permanent alterations to the property or its governing policies are expected. The resolution was forecasted on June 4, 2026, signaling planning and preparation by city officials well in advance of the Games.

License Agreement with Anheuser-Busch and MomentumThe City of Santa Monica has entered into a license agreement with Anheuser-Busch and Momentum to host the Pitchside Club, a temporary fan festival experience on the Santa Monica Pier in June 2026, in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup 2026. This event is designed as a 21+ adult-oriented soccer social club featuring live match watch parties and interactive soccer-inspired games and programming, creating a unique, high-energy destination for fans. The project is structured as a non-permanent installation with no expansion of existing pier infrastructure, relying on accessory structures such as seating, signage, and service areas that will be fully removable after the event. Environmental compliance has been established under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions, specifically Sections 15301, 15303, 15311, and 15323, which collectively support the use of existing facilities, construction of small structures, normal operations of recreational spaces, and maintenance of cultural resources, eliminating the need for a full environmental impact review. The City of Santa Monica retains oversight responsibility and has filed a Notice of Exemption with the required certified documentation attached, serving as the formal basis for approval. The point of contact for the project is Rachel Kwok, Environmental Planner, who serves as the lead agency representative, though no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Contracting Officer has been explicitly identified. No financial terms, payment details, invoicing procedures, or contract value have been disclosed in the available documentation, suggesting a non-monetary or administrative licensing arrangement. The event period is limited to approximately 15 days in June 2026 with no specified delivery or shipment requirements, as the scope centers solely on event execution at the Santa Monica Pier. There is no evidence of competitive procurement, evaluation factors, federal acquisition regulations, or standard contract clauses, indicating this is a ministerial licensing action under local authority rather than a federal procurement. All submissions for the exemption were required to be mailed to Sacramento by the April 15, 2026 deadline, with no electronic submission options supported. There are no requirements for security clearances, key personnel qualifications, contract options, or socioeconomic certifications, and no federal entity identifiers or size status data are provided for the parties involved.

The project is exempt from formal environmental review under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15301, 15304, and 15323, which classify the event as a temporary public gathering with no permanent environmental impact, normal operation of existing facilities, and minor land use. The sole point of contact is Javier Andrade, City Engineer, reachable by phone at (559) 429-4747, and the city’s administrative address is 919 Skyline Blvd, Avenal, CA 93204. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and no contract value, payment terms, invoicing systems, evaluation criteria, or solicitation numbers are defined, as this is not a procurement but a municipal event governed by state environmental exemptions. All aspects of execution, acceptance, and compliance are internally managed by the City of Avenal without formal competitive bidding or contractor engagement.

Big Bear Double Cross - Cyclocross EventThe Big Bear Double Cross - Cyclocross Event is a two-day trail bicycle race scheduled to take place at Big Bear Ranch Park in Big Bear Lake, California, a facility owned by San Bernardino County. The event involves temporary modifications to a dirt course with obstacle setups, requiring minimal ground disturbance, and is classified under CEQA Section 15323, Class 23, which exempts it from detailed environmental review as a normal operation of an existing public facility for recreational purposes. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, Special Districts, serves as the contracting entity, with Oscar Mendez, Recreation Superintendent, listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries and coordination. No formal contract value, pricing structure, or line items are specified in the documentation, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, solicitation numbers, or procurement classifications are applicable, as this is a local government-organized recreational event rather than a federal procurement action. Performance is limited to the event days at the designated park location, with no delivery of goods, FOB terms, invoicing systems, or payment office details provided. The event requires coordination of course layout, temporary obstacle installation, traffic management, and public safety during operation, with acceptance and inspection responsibilities held by San Bernardino County. No formal evaluation factors, award basis, or contracting officer roles are defined, and there are no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic provisions required, as the agency itself is the organizer and not sourcing from external vendors. No packaging, marking, or preservation standards apply, as no physical supplies are being procured. The documentation contains no attachment lists, proposal submission guidelines, deadlines, or formatting requirements, indicating the event was likely authorized through an internal administrative process tied to a categorical environmental exemption rather than a competitive bidding procedure. All activities are confined to the park premises, with no extensions, option periods, or special clauses beyond compliance with local environmental guidelines for public events.

Full Description

This sources sought notice contains all the applicable required information specified in RFO 5.101(c). Therefore, this sources sought fulfills the presolicitaiton notice requirement in accordance with RFO 5.101.

The 55th Contracting Squadron has an ongoing requirement to procure an air show act that provides a full reenactment of a World War II era air to ground attack consisting of replica Japanese aircraft, ground-based pyrotechnics, and a historical narration. The Offutt Air Force Base “Defenders of Freedom” Air and Space Show will be held at Offutt AFB, Nebraska on August 8 and August 9, 2026.

The 55th Contracting Squadron intends to pursue/award a sole source contract to Commemorative Air Force (CAGE: 06JG4). Tora Tora Tora is the only responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements. Tora Tora Tora conducts business under the entity Commemorative Air Force. The World War II era air to ground attack reenactment is unique to Tora Tora Tora as their act utilizes eight (8) replica Japanese aircraft (Mitsubshi A6M Zero fighters, Aichi D3A dive bombers, and Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers), realistic simulated ground-based detonation pyrotechnics, and a historical narration. Tora Tora Tora pilots hold certifications through the Federal Aviation Administration and Commemorative Air Force in order to perform the requested air act. The Tora Tora Pyrotechnic team holds state-issued pyrotechnic/shooter and federal ATF licensing to handle, store, and detonate high-hazard pyrotechnics.

With the Government's intent to award a sole source contract, this will not be set aside for small businesses under NAICS 711320, as the Government will be restricting competition in accordance with RFO 12.102(a).

Although the Government intends to award a sole source contract to Infinite Technologies Inc, all responsible entites are able to submit a capabilities statement in response to this sources sought. In addition, entities must also provide a detailed description of their alternative solution. Entities will be considered resonsible if there solution is deemed to meet the Government's need (Statement of Work) by the Governemnt subject matter expert. In the event adequate price competition is obtained, a written contract award will be issued to the lowest total evaluated priced offer determined to be techncially acceptable.

Please submit all applicable documents to the listed point(s) of contact via email.
