Quick Summary
The Defense Health Agency (DHA), specifically the Central Dental Lab (CDL) at Peterson Space Force Base, requires conference room rentals and comprehensive Audio-Visual (AV) support for its annual dental conference in Colorado Springs, CO. This Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity covers three annual conferences, with a base year and two option years. Proposals are due by February 11, 2026, at 07:30 AM Mountain Time.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for a three-day annual dental conference, preceded by a one-day setup, for a total of four days per year. Services include:
- Conference Rooms: One general session ballroom (200+ guests), nine breakout rooms (classroom-style for 20-30 attendees each), one lecture hall (30-40 students), and one executive meeting room (15-20 attendees). Separate space for a social event is also needed.
- Audio-Visual Support: Integrated AV, sound, and microphone support for all rooms, including hardline connections for virtual meetings in the executive room. On-site AV support for 250 participants, multiple rooms, and concurrent executive meetings with remote participants.
- Technical Infrastructure: Wi-Fi for 250 guests (1-2 devices each), sufficient electrical capacity (120-220V) for 50+ dental laboratory equipment pieces in breakout rooms, and electrical support for 10-50 laptops in each breakout room.
- Additional Facilities: Space and electrical support for 10-15 vendor booths, 24-hour on-site security, and locking doors for meeting spaces. Conference rooms will be utilized daily from 07:30 AM to 05:00 PM.
Venue & Logistics Requirements
The venue must be in Colorado Springs, CO, and ideally integrated with attendee lodging. Attendees are responsible for their own lodging and meals, utilizing Government Travel Cards (GTC) and the Defense Travel System (DTS) for reservations. Lodging must be on the same property as the conference venue. On-site or walking-distance dining options are preferred for individual meals, with breakfast available from 06:30 AM. Attendees are not authorized rental cars or transportation to the event, emphasizing the need for proximity.

- Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, Firm-Fixed Price.
- Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5).

Submission & Evaluation
Proposals must include both pricing (on Attachment 01 or company letterhead, pricing all CLINs) and a technical submission detailing how services will be provided per the Statement of Work (Attachment 02). Offerors must provide documentation of contractual authority from the property owner if not the owner themselves. Proposals must include pricing for all three years (base + two options) to be considered responsive. The government may split the requirement into two contracts (AV support and conference room rentals) if no technically acceptable combined offers are received.
Key Clarifications
The contract is a new requirement, not a continuation of an incumbent. The core conference dates (e.g., March 25-26 for the base year) are firm and inflexible. Breakout sessions cannot be held in the main general session room.
