1.1. Description of Work

1.1.1. 2026 Gunfighter Skies Airshow (May 16-17, 2026) at Mountain Home Air Force

Base, the contractor will provide all resources necessary for the pyrotechnics demonstration. As mandated by DAFI 11-209 and DAFI 11-209 ACC Supp (4.2.10), only ICAS Pyro Safety Task Force-identified Shooters in Charge (SICs) may use pyrotechnics during ACC aircraft demonstrations. The SIC is responsible for adhering to ACC guidelines and ensuring a comprehensive safety briefing, including emergency procedures, is conducted for all participants prior to operations.

2. REQUIREMENTS:

2.1. The contractor shall provide the following pyrotechnics demonstration, simulating a downed aircraft scenario with supporting Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) aircraft (aircraft and crew provided by the USAF), for the Mountain Home Air Force Base Combined Arms Demonstration (CAD). One (1) demonstration shall be performed each day, 16 and 17 May 2026 with the option of a third demonstration 15 May 2026. The government shall notify the contractor of the decision to exercise the option of a third demonstration no less than 30 days prior to the show. The government also recognizes exercising this option would result in an earlier arrival time and additional lodging and rental car requirements.

3. PYROTECHNICS ELEMENTS (PER DEMONSTRATION):

3.1. Simulated Strafing Runs: Each demonstration will consist of four (4) simulated strafing runs, each consisting of fifty (50) pyrotechnics to simulate 20mm caliber bullets.

Each strafe pass shall consist of 50 simulated projectiles, totaling 200 simulated projectiles per demonstration. This effect shall be achieved using rapid 50-100 bangs/pops to simulate the sound and visual effect of a strafing run.

3.2. Double Bomb Effects: Each demonstration will consist of four (4) passes by aircraft consisting of two (2) simulated bomb drops per pass. Each pass shall consist of two (2) large bomb effect detonations.

3.3. Wall of Fire: One (1) Wall of Fire effect, measuring a minimum of 500 feet in length and approximately 50 feet in height.

4. LICENSING AGREEMENT: All members of the contractor's Special Effects Team must possess all required Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF&E) licenses necessary to legally handle and deploy pyrotechnic materials.

5.2. Mountain Home Air Force Base (MHAFB) will provide the following to the contractor:

5.2.1. Vehicles: The contractor shall advise MHAFB of the specific type and quantity of vehicles required to support the pyrotechnics demonstration. MHAFB will provide the requested vehicles.

5.2.2. Lodging: The contractor shall advise MHAFB of the number of lodging rooms required for their personnel. MHAFB will provide lodging rooms for the pyrotechnics team for check-in on May 14th, 2026, and check-out on May 18th, 2026 contractor shall provide on their quote if additional time is necessary for setup and teardown.

5.2.3. Fuel: The contractor shall provide MHAFB with the approximate quantity and specific fuel type(s) required for the pyrotechnics demonstration. MHAFB will provide the specified fuel

5.2.4. Meals and Hydration: MHAFB will provide lunch (box lunches acceptable) and two (2) cases of water per day for the pyrotechnics team.

5.2.5. Sanitation: MHAFB will provide a portable toilet (porta-john) for the exclusive use of the pyrotechnics team, positioned for easy access without requiring the team to cross active runways.

5.2.6. Explosives Storage: MHAFB will provide legal storage for explosive materials.

MHAFB may make available a pre-approved location for the storage of the explosives for the special effects with advance coordination and approval. If local, approved explosive bunkers are available, MHAFB will facilitate their use. If portable magazine bunkers are required, the airshow will not pay for rental, delivery, or pickup. In either case, military personnel may not assist in the handling or transportation of the explosive material. The contractor will be required to transport and provide the storage device that holds the material (e.g., a trailer).

5.2.7. Pyrotechnics Area (Box) Preparation: The designated pyrotechnics area (the "pyro box") will consist of a space measuring 1200 feet by 600 feet, positioned at least 500 feet from the crowd line at show center. The pyro box will be clear of any towers or obstructions that could interfere with the pyrotechnic performance.

MHAFB will pre-burn the pyro box, and at least 100 feet on all sides, at least one week prior to the airshow to enable effective control of fire during and after the performance. The pre-burn is essential to ensure the show is not interrupted due to fires caused by the special effects. If, for any reason, the pyro box cannot be pre-burned, then the pyro box, plus 100 feet on all sides, shall be mowed to a height of 1 ½ inches, and all clippings shall be removed from the area. Additionally, a fire apparatus appropriately equipped for responding to grass fires will be positioned next to the pyro box prior to the pyrotechnics demonstration to support rapid response to extinguish any fires created by the special effects. Due to potential liability and safety considerations, if the pyro box is not suitably prepped prior to

4 | P a g e the pyrotechnics demonstration, the contractor will not be able to perform their demonstration.

5.2.8. Fire Suppression Equipment: MHAFB will provide two (2) pressurized water 2A fire extinguishers and two (2) 20 lb. BC fire extinguishers for use by the pyrotechnics team.

Responsible units/activities will clean up small spills safety and within their capabilities to do

so. Generally, a spill of only a few gallons will recovered by the responsible unit/activity using absorbent materials or a spill kit located by the site. Recovered product and contaminated materials will be packaged and staged for disposal in accordance with the installation’s hazardous waste procedures.
