Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior NNSY rental venue awards for job/career fairs. Specifically, Ingenious Conceptions Graphic Designs (N4215825PN024) received $234,281 for “RENTAL SPACE FOR NNSY JOB FAIR” (01/27/25–01/26/26), and Prosperity Sisters (N4215826PN020) received $10,321 for “NNSY requests a rental venue space for NNSY career fair” (01/30/26–06/30/26). The described work—providing a Hampton Roads-area rental space to host NNSY career fairs with event-day setup/logistics—appears to be a continuation of the same type of venue support across multiple scheduled fairs.
