Enlisted Leadership Conference

Project Title: 2021 Enlisted leadership Conference The Government herby submits a notice of award IAW FAR 5.3. Air Force District of Washington (AFDW/PK), awarded a firm fixed price single source acquisition in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for conference space and audio and visual support for the 2021 AF Enlisted Leadership Conference. Rationale for Soliciting from a Single Source: The 2021 ELC is collocated with the Air Force Sergeants' Association (AFSA) Professional Education and Development Symposium. AFSA is a National Military Association (recognized by OSD) and members are able to attend Professional Development Forums without paying any dues or fees. The collocation of the ELC conference with AFSA in the same venue allows not only for cost savings to the government but also cross-functional collaboration, and professional development by attending Air Force and Space Force senior leaders and personnel. If another location is selected this will add on the additional cost of transportation to and from the venue. In addition, transportation time will take away from the respective conferences to get to professional development forums. Based on the current agenda this would cause of loss of several hours of valuable conference time
