Offutt Air Show Event Parking Management

The 55th Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is seeking a contractor to provide event parking management services for the 2026 Offutt Air Force Base "Defenders of Freedom" Air and Space Show, scheduled for August 8-9, 2026, in Nebraska. The scope of work includes implementing the air show parking plan and providing a ticketing solution for base access related to on-site parking. The Government intends to award this as a sole source contract to Solutions Event Services, Inc., citing that the proprietary parking and traffic flow plan developed by that company can only be executed by its originating source. The contract will be awarded through Oral Solicitation using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with quotes evaluated based on price and technical capability, with award going to the offeror with the lowest total evaluated price that is technically acceptable. Interested responsible sources must submit a capabilities statement via email to Tyler Imhoff at tyler.imhoff.1@us.af.mil with the Notice ID (FA4600_Offutt_Air_Show_Parking_2026) in the subject line by 4:00 PM CDT on April 16, 2026.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a 100 percent Small Business Set-Aside, limiting competition to small business entities. Solutions Event Services, Inc. is identified as the intended sole source awardee and the incumbent contractor for this requirement. The notice does not disclose an estimated award value or budget range for this contract. The services are classified under NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services) and PSC M1LZ (Operation of Parking Facilities), indicating the specialized nature of the event parking management services required. The compressed timeline from the pre-solicitation notice posting on March 27, 2026, to the April 16 deadline for capability statements demonstrates the Government's intent to move expeditiously toward contract award prior to the August air show dates.
