About this opportunity

The 502d Contracting Squadron of the Department of Defense issued a Notice of Intent for Marshalling Detachment Services under sole-source procurement authority on January 29, 2026. The contract opportunity targets the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) based on their unique capability to provide specialized services. This Special Notice is not a competitive solicitation but rather an announcement of the Department's intent to award directly to CAF. The procurement falls under NAICS code 713990 (All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries) and PSC code G003 (Social-Recreational). Interested parties are invited to express their capability and interest in fulfilling the requirement, though the Government retains sole discretion in determining whether to pursue a competitive procurement process.

The objective of this procurement is to secure ground handling and marshaling services for World War II era civilian aircraft during the 2026 Great Texas Air Show at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)-Randolph, including aircraft operating from Kelly Field. The deadline for interested parties to express capability is February 4, 2026. Prospective contractors must demonstrate the ability to provide all necessary personnel, supervision, and resources required for comprehensive ground handling and marshaling operations. While CAF is the intended awardee due to their direct knowledge of the specific service requirements, any interested party may submit information regarding their capabilities for consideration. Contractors should contact either Contracting Officer Mercedes Perez at mercedes.perez.1@us.af.mil or (210) 652-0302, or Lt Woodrum at brandon.woodrum.6@us.af.mil or (440) 876-3667 for additional inquiries.
