DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 7305] 

Bureau of Educational and Cultural 

Affairs Request for Proposals: The 

Design, Development, Installation, 

Operation, and Final Disposition of a 

U.S. Pavilion at the International 

Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012 

Announcement Type: New. 

Key Dates 

Application Deadline: Tuesday, 

March 15, 2011. 

Executive Summary 

The Bureau of Educational and 

Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the 

Department of State (Department) 

requests proposals from private U.S. 

individuals, firms, associations and 

organizations (for-profit or non-profit) 

for the design, development, 

installation, operation (including 

managing sponsorship donations and 

sponsorship fulfillment), and final 

disposition of a U.S. Pavilion at the 

International Exposition Yeosu Korea 

2012, whose theme is ‘‘The Living 

Ocean and Coast.’’ The U.S. Pavilion 

will be situated in an approximately 

1,183-square-meter module within the 

International Pavilions building. The 

Department intends to sign a 

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) 

with the proposer submitting the 

proposal most advantageous to the U.S. 

Government, authorizing that project 

manager to proceed with the design, 

development, installation, and 

operation of the U.S. Pavilion, and the 

Department would subsequently sign a 

Participation Contract with the Korea 

Expo Organizing Committee. 

The Department is not authorized to 

provide funding for the U.S. Pavilion at 

Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. The 

Department is authorized, however, to 

raise funds for the U.S. Pavilion at Expo 

2012 Yeosu Korea from the private 

sector and will secure pledges from 

prospective donors (Sponsors) that have 

been vetted within the Department for 

potential conflict of interest. The 

Department is seeking proposals, with 

detailed budget estimates based on $10 

(ten) million in sponsorship, and a 

second alternate proposal showing the 

project scaled back to $7 (seven) 

million. Sponsors have agreed to follow 

through on pledges by donating pledged 

amounts to the successful proposer, 

who will manage sponsorship 

engagement (including sponsorship 

donations and sponsorship fulfillment). 

The successful proposer will need to 

have secured IRS recognition as a tax 

exempt organization, as well as an IRS 

declaration that contributions are 

deductible—and to have provided 

documentation to this effect to the 

Department—before the Department 

will sign an MOA. 

Total cost for a U.S. presence at Expo 

2012 Yeosu Korea is estimated to be $10 

million. This will include all costs 

associated with the design, fabrication, 

installation, operation (including 

staffing), and final disposition of the 

U.S. Pavilion, as well as all support for 

a U.S. Commissioner General. The 

successful proposer will consult closely 

with and follow the direction of State 

Department officials and the 

Commissioner General with respect to 

Pavilion content and programming. The 

successful proposer should also consult 

with a design proposal review team that 

includes non-USG Pavilion experts plus 

non-USG Korea experts, such as the 

Korea-America Foundation or U.S. 

academics in Korea studies. The U.S. 

Pavilion shall be considered on loan to 

the U.S. Government for the duration of 

the Expo (May 12–August 12, 2012). 

The loan shall be treated as a gift to the 

U.S. Government. 

Proposals from non-U.S. citizens or 

non-U.S.-owned firms or organizations 

shall be deemed ineligible for 

consideration. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Authority 

Overall authority for Department 

support for U.S. participation in 

international expositions is contained in 

Section 102(a)(3) of the Mutual 

Educational and Cultural Exchange Act 

of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 

2452(a)(3)), also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to 

enable the Government of the United 

States to increase mutual understanding 

between the people of the United States 

and the people of other countries * * *; 

to strengthen the ties which unite us 

with other nations by demonstrating the 

educational and cultural interests, 

developments, and achievements of the 

people of the United States and other 

nations * * * and thus to assist in the 

development of friendly, sympathetic 

and peaceful relations between the 

United States and the other countries of 

the world.’’ Pursuant to this authority, 

and internal delegations of authority, 

ECA is the Department bureau 

responsible for coordinating U.S. 

participation in Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. 

Consequently, ECA will take the lead, 

with the assistance of U.S. Mission to 

Korea, to represent the U.S. Government 

in dealings with the Organizing 

Committee of Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. 

Purpose 

The Government of the Republic of 

Korea has invited the United States to 

participate in the International 

Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012 and the 

U.S. Government has advised the 

Korean Government of its intention to 

participate with an official U.S. 

Pavilion, subject to our ability to raise 

sufficient private sector funds. Expo 

2012 Yeosu Korea will be held on 

specially constructed exhibition 

grounds. The Expo opens on May 12, 

2012 and closes on August 12, 2012. 

Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea is a smallscale international exposition or 

‘‘world’s fair’’ recognized by the 

International Expositions Bureau (BIE), 

an international treaty organization 

established to sanction and monitor 

international exhibitions of long 

duration (over three weeks) and 

significant scale. Invitations to world’s 

fairs are extended from the host 

government to other governments. The 

United States is not a member of the 

BIE, and the U.S. Commissioner 

General—selected by the Department of 

State—will therefore not be a formal 

member of the Steering Committee of 

the College of Commissioners General 

for Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea. 

With a projected eight million 

visitors, Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea offers
