Questions

What is an event planning RFP?

An event planning RFP (request for proposals) is a notice in which a government agency asks companies to plan and run conferences, meetings and events, with a price and a proposal sent by a deadline. Federal agencies publish them on SAM.gov as solicitations, combined synopsis/solicitations or requests for quotes; presolicitations and sources sought notices announce them earlier.

How many event planning RFPs are open right now?

3 on Nov 6, 2026, from 3 federal agencies in 1 state. 9 more are announced (presolicitations and sources sought notices). 2 of the open bids are set aside for small businesses. The list is updated every day from SAM.gov.

Which NAICS codes do event planning government contracts use?

Bids for this service mostly use 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers) and 711320 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities). Check the NAICS code in each notice: it decides the size standard for small-business set-asides.

How do I bid on event planning government contracts?

Register your business in SAM.gov (free) to get a Unique Entity ID, check that your NAICS code and size fit the notice, read the full solicitation and its amendments on SAM.gov, and send your offer before the deadline. Set-aside bids are limited to eligible small businesses, such as 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB or WOSB firms.
