The U.S. Consulate in Bengaluru issued Solicitation No. 191N6025Q0010 for event management and planning services for the U.S.-India Space Business Forum. The forum, a follow-up to a 2024 conference, will focus on commercial space collaboration, including market access, FDI, government procurement, and export controls. The U.S. Department of Commerce staff will be heavily involved in planning. Vendors are responsible for all logistical aspects, including speaker management, venue selection (a central Bengaluru venue for 200 participants with food and beverage), and statutory permissions. Compliance with Annex B (General Contract Terms & Conditions), non-commercial clauses, and NDAA Section 889 Part B is mandatory. The solicitation is all-inclusive, meaning all fees must be part of the overall quotation. While exhibitions and sponsorships are not explicit requirements, they can be considered with Contracting Officer clearance, though no revenue generation is expected. The U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service will assist with promotion, and the vendor is responsible for managing registration, badge generation, and visitor tracking, with all data becoming U.S. Government property. Photo and videography services, including an emcee, are required, and all generated media will be U.S. Government property.
