National Book Festival Event Management Services

The Library of Congress is seeking a vendor to provide staging, operations, management, and logistics services for the National Book Festival. The agency needs to address the complex operational demands of planning and executing a major national literary event. The selected vendor will determine the event format, whether virtual, in-person, or hybrid, and establish the method of execution, which may span a single weekend, a few weeks, or a longer duration. The scope of work requires the vendor to select the event site, if applicable, and provide comprehensive operational details for each specific order. The agency is performing this project offsite, meaning the vendor will conduct the work away from the agency's primary facilities. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services. The solicitation does not specify pre-determined evaluation criteria or key milestone dates in the initial description. Bidders must monitor the procurement portal for subsequent disclosures regarding the submission deadline and selection timeline.
