About this opportunity
The Air Education and Training Command is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a TBM Avenger Warbird static aircraft display for the Keesler AFB Thunder Over the Sound-Air & Space Show scheduled for October 31 through November 2, 2025. This sources sought announcement seeks contractors who can provide a static aircraft display during the air show's rehearsal/Family Day on Friday and full show days on Saturday and Sunday, with performance contingent on weather conditions. Contractors must meet specific security requirements including background checks, base identification passes, and compliance with installation security guidelines. The government will provide comprehensive support including lodging in double-occupancy rooms, meals, ground transportation, fuel, engine oil, and hangar space as available. Interested parties must respond by August 19, 2025, and should note that this is purely market research with no guarantee of future solicitation issuance.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified sources. No current contractors or incumbents are identified in the documentation. While no specific contract values or budget ranges are disclosed, the government will provide lump sum compensation within 30 days of invoice submission, with full payment guaranteed even if the contractor is prepared to display but cannot perform due to uncontrollable circumstances. The contract covers a three-day period from October 31 to November 2, 2025, requiring the contractor to maintain aircraft display readiness throughout the event. Additional revenue opportunities exist for contractors through merchandise sales related to the aircraft and acceptance of unsolicited donations, though they cannot charge admission fees or imply Department of Defense endorsement. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 711510 for Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers and PSC code G003 for Social-Recreational services.
