About this opportunity
Air Combat Command is conducting a sources sought for public address and sound system services for the 2027 Beale Air & Space Expo, with responses due July 10, 2026, and intends to set-aside this requirement for small business. This is market research only; no contract will be awarded from this sources sought.
The event takes place April 16–18, 2027, at Beale Air Force Base, California. The contractor must provide complete sound system design, installation, operation, and staffing, including a minimum 1,000-watt D-Class audio power speaker system positioned every 100 feet at 10 feet high along a 2,000-foot crowd fence line with 550-foot depth, capable of broadcasting 300–500 feet into crowds and reaching all static display and hot ramp areas. The system must withstand 40-knot sustained winds and include an audio console with dual CD and MP3 playback, minimum two audio output connections (XLR, RCA, or ¼-inch), minimum three wired and three wireless microphones with stands, and an 8-foot by 13-foot by 8-foot announcer platform with guard and handrails. The contractor must supply standalone power generation equipment with backup capacity and adequate insurance covering equipment replacement costs. Critical qualification requires prior support of USAF Thunderbirds or USN Blue Angels airshows, capability to connect to Air Boss and Thunderbirds' communications trailer, and well-trained technicians with airshow experience within the previous five years. The contractor arrives prior to April 16, 2027, for setup and sound checks and provides technician support throughout the event.
