Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The prior closely related/potential incumbent award HQ003425PE058 was awarded to Kallman Worldwide for “Dubai Air Show 2025 - Trade Show Exhibit Space” in the amount of $127,075 (07/07/25–11/30/25). This prior work appears similar to the current requirement because it involved procuring prime exhibition/trade show space at the Dubai Air Show, and the current notice likewise seeks prime booth space within the official USA Partnership Pavilion for DAS 2027.
