About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking shuttle bus services for the Air Show 2026 event at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina. This is a sources-sought notice only, and interested contractors should submit a capability statement and price estimation to the listed government contacts rather than formal proposals at this time. Key requirements include providing transportation for up to 6,000 guests across two designated bus routes entirely within the base, operating from 0900-1900 hours daily, and maintaining strict compliance with base security protocols including traffic regulations, seatbelt usage, and cell phone restrictions while driving. Contractors must submit a driver list 10 days prior to the event, ensure all personnel obtain proper base identification, and assume liability for damages resulting from carelessness while the government provides emergency medical transportation with contractor reimbursement of associated costs. Interested small businesses must submit their capability statements and pricing to SSgt. Mackenzie Fullenlove and Ms. Maria del Mar Rodriguez Martinez by December 12, 2025, with the understanding that this is a preliminary market research phase and no questions or formal offers should be submitted at this time.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small businesses in the charter bus industry (NAICS 485510). The contract will run for three days during March 27-29, 2026, with the government seeking to understand market capability and pricing prior to formal solicitation. No current incumbent contractor is identified in this sources-sought notice, and specific budget ranges or award values have not been disclosed. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary personnel, vehicles (golf carts or buses), and equipment to safely transport guests between the designated parking lot and event bus stops, with buses waiting approximately 5 minutes between stops or until capacity is reached.
