About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is conducting market research to identify potential sources for providing a static display of an A-26 Douglas Warbird aircraft at the 2025 Keesler AFB Thunder Over the Sound-Air & Space Show scheduled for October 31 through November 2, 2025. This sources sought announcement is specifically for market research purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals. The contractor would be required to provide all personnel, equipment, and materials necessary for the static aircraft display during the air show's rehearsal/Family Day and two performance days, adhering to AFMAN 10-1004 standards. Key requirements include contractor personnel obtaining base access passes, completing security clearance checks, and complying with comprehensive safety protocols while operating on Keesler Air Force Base. Interested parties must respond by September 12, 2025, and the government emphasizes that responses are not offers and cannot form binding contracts.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are specifically identified in the documentation. While specific contract values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this sources sought notice, the government will provide lodging, meals, transportation, fuel, and hangar space for the selected contractor. The performance period spans three days including one rehearsal/Family Day and two public performance days during the air show event. The contractor may sell merchandise related to the aircraft but cannot solicit donations or imply Department of Defense endorsement, and full payment is contingent on the contractor being on-site and ready to display regardless of whether circumstances outside their control prevent actual performance.
