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 solve the complex operational and logistical challenges associated with planning and executing a major national literary event. The selected vendor will manage the event execution, which includes determining the event format such as virtual, in-person, or hybrid models. The scope of work covers selecting the method of execution, whether the festival takes place over a single weekend, a few weeks, or a longer period of time. The vendor must also select the physical site for the event if an in-person or hybrid format is chosen, and provide comprehensive details for each specific order. All performance of the work will take place offsite from the agency. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget and cost structure for these services. The source document does not disclose specific evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
