RFI for ManTech Program Conference Services

The Office of the Secretary of Defense Manufacturing Technology Program is seeking information to identify vendors capable of organizing, planning, and executing its annual defense manufacturing conference. This event brings together industry and government stakeholders to discuss the manufacturing technology program and the advanced manufacturing industrial base. The agency requires a partner to manage all conference aspects, including pre-planning, content development, logistics, travel, execution, and wrap-up activities. The selected vendor must develop technical session content, issue a call for abstracts, and arrange for technical session participants. The agency requires the development of a registration fee structure that incentivizes attendance from across the defense manufacturing, industrial base, and program management communities. Additionally, the partner must develop, store, update, and utilize conference mailing lists, as well as provide video recording for general sessions and photography for all sessions and ceremonies. The agency expects the conference costs to be self-sustaining, funded through revenue collected from attendee registration, exhibitor fees, sponsorship fees, and other performance-related fees. Eligible respondents must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The work must be performed onsite in Washington, DC, and interested parties can submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal.
