NAICS 711219 – Other Spectator Sports covers organized athletic events and performances designed for public viewing that fall outside the scope of traditional professional or collegiate sports, such as motorsports exhibitions, extreme sports competitions, esports tournaments, and niche spectator events like dog racing or roller derby leagues. This classification supports the planning, logistics, venue management, and operational execution of events that attract live audiences and often require coordination with public safety, media broadcasting, and community engagement services. In the federal contracting landscape, this NAICS code is typically leveraged for events sponsored by military morale, welfare, and recreation programs, veterans’ engagement initiatives, or public outreach campaigns by civilian agencies seeking to connect with diverse communities through dynamic, high-visibility activities. No contractor data is available for this NAICS code, indicating limited or fragmented procurement activity, with no dominant primes or small businesses emerging as consistent awardees. The competitive landscape appears highly specialized, with potential participation from event management firms, nonprofit organizations, and local operators with experience in non-traditional sports programming. No agency data is available, suggesting that procurement under this code is sporadic and decentralized, likely tied to installations or regional offices managing quality-of-life or community outreach programs rather than centralized national initiatives. The market context is characterized by low opportunity density and high variability in funding cycles. Contractors with expertise in non-traditional event logistics, adaptive venue operations, and public engagement strategy may find niche opportunities within Department of Defense Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs, Department of Veterans Affairs outreach efforts, or Department of the Interior public events. Procurement tends to be responsive to seasonal or commemorative programming rather than sustained annual requirements.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.

Solicitation # FA500026Q0030
The contract is a requirements-type Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) award with a five-year ordering period running from June 30, 2026, through September 30, 2031, for the provision of officiating and scorekeeping services for adult sports in Anchorage, Alaska. The scope requires the contractor to supply all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, and supervision to conduct games across multiple sports including basketball, volleyball, softball, flag football, and indoor and outdoor soccer, with specified officiating and scoring configurations per sport and game volume totals annually. The contract is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 711219, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to compete, and all offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered for award.

The contractor must use the Wide Area WorkFlow system for invoicing and payment processing, with designated DoDAAC codes routing payments and acceptance through the appropriate Department of Defense offices. Award will be determined using tradeoff procedures based on three evaluation factors in descending order of importance: Technical Acceptability, Past Performance, and Price. Technical proposals will be assessed by government subject matter experts to ensure a clear understanding of the Performance Work Statement, while past performance history will be evaluated to determine confidence in successful contract execution, with no penalty applied for lack of prior experience. Price submissions must be fully completed on the provided price schedule, which lists fixed quantities for each sport and game type, though unit prices are not disclosed. The government may select an offeror other than the lowest-priced submission if the technical merit and performance history justify a higher cost.

The contractor is not obligated to accept any single order exceeding 300 games or a combination of orders exceeding 500 games within a 365-day period from the same ordering office. Compliance with clauses addressing whistleblower rights, cybersecurity, former DoD official compensation, trafficking in persons, and security exclusions is mandatory, and adherence to the Alaska Service Wage Determination applies to all labor performed under the contract.
