About this opportunity
The Special Notice is for a contract opportunity issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command to obtain aerial performance and display services from the B-29 "Doc" aircraft and its operator, Commemorative Airforce (CAGE 7TY94), for the 2025 Altus Air Force Base airshow. The Air Force intends to award a contract to the Commemorative Airforce for the B-29 "Doc" and "Doc's Friends, Inc." to perform a WWII warbird flyby and formation flight with KC-135 and KC-46 aircraft.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to announce the Air Force's intent to award a sole-source contract to Commemorative Airforce for the B-29 "Doc" aerial performance based on their deep roots in the local Altus community, reduced travel costs, outstanding safety record, and extensive experience in the air show industry. Contractors interested in responding must submit capability statements by November 28, 2024, providing technical data and cost information to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement. The Air Force will review the responses to determine whether to proceed with a single-source award or conduct a competitive procurement.

The 97 Contracting Squadron intends to make award to Doc's Friends Inc (CAGE 7TY94). The B-29 "Doc" is deeply rooted with the Altus community and local base populous. As they are based out of Wichita, KS, their

outstanding safety record, longstanding success within the air show industry and their experience make the B-29 "Doc" highly
and uniquely qualified to perform at the 2025 Altus airshow.
The proposed contract action is for supplies/services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with a single source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation document exists for the requirement.
