Specialized maintenance, storage, and logistics services to support the Trade Show Booth

The Air Force Test Center Operational Contracting Division (AFTC/PZIOA) Eglin AFB, FL intends to award a sole source contract to T.S. AND E. TRADE SHOW AND EXHIBIT LOGISTICS INC, 8001 Clearwater CT, Sarasota, Florida, 34241-2720, CAGE 188B4 to provide specialized maintenance, climate-controlled storage, and full turnkey logistics services to support the government-owned tradeshow booth. The anticipated contract will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Commercial Purchase Order.

The statutory authority which permits sole source for this acquisition is 41 United States Code (USC) 1901, as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(b), revised by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Memorandum, 'Class Deviation—Revolutionary FAR Overhaul,' effective February 1, 2026. The applicable text for FAR Part 12 is located on the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul web page at https://www.acquisition.gov/far-overhaul/far-part-deviation-guide/far-overhaul-part-12.

This authority is supported by an approved FAR Part 12 Single Source Justification. Competition is being limited due to the proposed source possessing proprietary tooling and custom jigs required to maintain the custom-fabricated booth, and relocating the asset would void existing warranties and result in an unacceptable duplication of cost to the Government.

It is the Government's intent to proceed with this sole-source action. The applicable NAICS code is 561920 – Convention and Trade Show Organizers. The size standard as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration is $20M. The anticipated award date is 25 June 2026.
