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 P-51 Warbird static aircraft display at the Keesler AFB Thunder Over the Sound Air & Space Show scheduled for October 31 through November 2, 2025, in Biloxi, Mississippi. This sources sought notice seeks contractors capable of providing a static P-51 aircraft display that will be available for a Friday rehearsal/Family Day event and weekend performances on Saturday and Sunday. The contractor must comply with Federal Aviation Regulation Waiver guidelines and meet strict security requirements including background checks and base access procedures for all personnel. While no formal evaluation criteria are specified in this market research phase, contractors will be expected to demonstrate their ability to provide the required aircraft and support services. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by August 19, 2025, and interested parties are reminded that this is not a solicitation and no proposals should be submitted at this time.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified sources. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The government will provide significant government-furnished services including lodging in double-occupancy rooms, meals, transportation, fuel, oil, and hangar space as needed, though no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed. The contract structure indicates performance-based compensation where full payment will be made if the contractor is on-site and ready to display, with no payment for non-performance. The event spans a three-day period including one rehearsal day and two performance days, and contractors will be permitted to sell merchandise related to their aircraft but cannot solicit donations or imply Department of Defense endorsement.
