DoW Maintenance Symposium Exhibit Furnishings and Electrical Services
The government intends to issue a single-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Shepard Exposition Services, Inc. for rental exhibit furnishings and electrical services supporting the HAF 20-foot by 40-foot booth assigned to AFSC A3/4 at the Department of War Maintenance Symposium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The action will use simplified acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13, with competition restricted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) because the contracting officer determines only one source is reasonably available. The sole-source rationale includes the vendor’s role as event-designated decorator, exhibit-hall access and installation coordination, event-controlled electrical service, avoidance of performance and schedule risk, and time-sensitive pricing.
