RFI/Sources Sought for "Planning and Execution of the MHSRS for the DHA in Support of the ASW(HA)

The Defense Health Agency, supporting the Assistant Secretary of War for Health Affairs, has issued this Request for Information and Sources Sought notification to identify capable industry partners for the planning and execution of the annual Military Health System Research Symposium. This event serves as a critical forum for reporting federally funded medical research supporting deployed warfighters. The government is seeking non-personal professional support services to manage all phases of the symposium, including planning, execution, and post-event activities. The requirement falls under NAICS 561920 and is envisioned as a no-cost contract, meaning the contractor will recover all operational costs through attendee registration fees, sponsorships, and exhibitor fees. Interested respondents must submit a capability statement by September 9, 2026, detailing their relevant experience with scientific research meetings, abstract peer review, and no-cost contract structures. The evaluation will focus on the company's ability to match the scope of the draft Performance Work Statement and their expertise in managing large-scale scientific events. While the primary contract is no-cost, the government has identified potential priced optional CLINs for additional government registration and exhibitor booth support services with not-to-exceed limits of 150,000 and 50,000 dollars, respectively. Contractors will be required to adhere to strict Department of Defense conference guidance, manage organizational conflicts of interest, and ensure personnel complete comprehensive security and compliance training.
