What is a No Cost Event Deployment & Is This Acceptable

Using our NO COST event planning service, we support your government agency with programs and the personnel who run them in accomplishing their mission requirements

Generally, a “No-Cost” contract is a formal arrangement between a government entity and a government integrated marketing event deployment approved vendor under which the government makes no monetary payment for the vendor’s performance. GAO provides written guidance for the issuance of “No Cost” contracts. B-302811, July 12, 2004. “Under a typical no-cost contract, a vendor meeting the qualifications and proving past performance in event deployment provides a service that [an] agency would otherwise perform, but instead of receiving compensation from the agency, the vendor charges and retains fees [Assessed against third parties] for its services. B-300248, Jan. 15, 2004. All event services are required to be provided at no cost to the Government. All of the registration, exhibition, sponsorship and/or other fees collected serve as payment for performance under the task order, as there is “no cost” to the Government. All costs related to performance as defined in the task order and the government’s liability for payment of services under this task order is a zero liability for the government agency issuing the contract.
