The Department of Defense (DoD), through its Washington Headquarters Services Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD), has issued a Sources Sought Notice to gather information from potential providers regarding support for the ManTech Program Conference. This notice, identified by procurement number HH52620261124, is not a solicitation for proposals, quotations, or abstracts; rather, it is a market research tool intended to inform the government’s acquisition strategy for this requirement.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure support for the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program in organizing and executing a program conference. Notably, this requirement is for a NO COST CONTRACT, meaning the selected contractor will not receive direct payment from the government for services rendered. The anticipated contract will be a follow-on to a previous award (Contract Number HQ0034-21-P-0103) held by Arctos Technology Solutions, LLC.
The scope of work is expected to encompass comprehensive conference and event organization services, as classified under NAICS Code 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers) and Product Service Code R499 (Support – Professional: Other). While specific requirements and deliverables are detailed in the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS) attached to the notice, contractors should anticipate responsibilities typical of large-scale government conference support, including but not limited to event planning, logistics, coordination, and execution.
The estimated period of performance for this requirement includes an 18-month base period, with the possibility of two additional 18-month option periods, allowing for a potential total contract duration of up to 54 months. The place of performance is Arlington, Virginia.
There are no set-aside restrictions associated with this opportunity; it is open to all qualified entities. The procurement is being managed by the Washington Headquarters Services, a federal office within the Department of Defense. Interested parties are encouraged to review the draft PWS for further details and to consider their ability to fulfill the requirements under a no-cost arrangement.
Key contacts for this notice are Chris Smith ([email protected]) and Shenghui He ([email protected]). The notice was posted on May 28, 2026, with responses due by June 12, 2026. Additional information, including attachments, can be accessed via the official SAM.gov opportunity listing at https://sam.gov/opp/c49bf4742dfd407da3786e740f4ce403/view.
Contractors with experience in convention and trade show organization, particularly those familiar with federal government requirements and no-cost contract models, are encouraged to respond to this Sources Sought Notice to help shape the government’s acquisition approach for this important program.
