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 Bell 47 (OH-13) Helicopter static display at the Keesler AFB Thunder Over the Sound-Air & Space Show scheduled for October 31 to November 2, 2025. This is a sources sought announcement only and not a formal solicitation, with the primary objective being to assess market capabilities for procuring a static aircraft display that will be available for a Friday rehearsal/Family Day and weekend performances. The contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, and resources necessary for the static display, while the government will provide lodging, food, transportation, fuel, oil, and hangar space. Interested parties must respond by August 22, 2025, and should note that this market research does not constitute a commitment to issue future solicitations. The government emphasizes that responses will not be returned, all costs are at the respondent's expense, and no proposals should be submitted at this time.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers) and PSC code G003 (Social-Recreational). No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the announcement, as this is purely a market research phase. The contractor will receive 100% of the performance fee if on-site and ready to display, even if unable to perform due to circumstances beyond their control, and merchandise sales related to the aircraft are permitted with restrictions on donation solicitation. The timeline spans approximately three days of actual performance requirements, with specific security and access protocols that must be followed including background checks and badge procedures. The event location is Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, and interested parties are advised to monitor SAM.gov for any future developments related to this requirement.
