Airboss 360 Inc.

Airboss 360 Inc., doing business as JIM Gibson Airboss, is a veteran-owned small business based in Tenino, Washington, that provides air boss services and turnkey public address and sound system solutions for military air shows and aviation events across Air Force installations nationwide. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor on Total Small Business set-aside purchase orders, with all seven tracked federal awards issued by the Department of the Air Force and its subordinate commands (Air Mobility Command, Air Combat Command, Air Materiel Command, and Air National Guard).

Airboss 360 is a Subchapter S Corporation registered as a for-profit veteran-owned business in SAM.gov since January 2020. The vendor's footprint classifies primarily under NAICS 492100 (Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities) and 532490 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing), reflecting its specialization in event-support services and equipment provisioning rather than traditional IT or logistics contracting.

The vendor's customer base is entirely Air Force-centric. All seven awards come from Air Force agencies, with Air Mobility Command anchoring the largest share (two awards, $38 thousand combined potential value) through public address system contracts for the Wings Over Solano Air Show at Travis Air Force Base, California (April 2026, $17.5 thousand) and Skyfest 2026 at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington (June 2026, $20.3 thousand). Air Materiel Command awarded a $21.9 thousand complete turnkey PA system solution for Warriors Over the Wasatch Airshow at Hill Air Force Base, Utah (June 2026). Air Combat Command and the main Air Force issued single awards for air boss services at Beale Air Force Base ($6.6 thousand, June 2025) and the Arctic Thunder Open House in Anchorage ($7.2 thousand, August 2026). The vendor also holds an Air National Guard award valued at $21 thousand.

Activity has been episodic. The vendor recorded one award in 2020, none in 2021–2023, two in 2024, and four in 2026 year-to-date. Combined potential value across all seven awards is $102 thousand, with 100% of that amount obligated. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or definitive contracts with performance windows of two to five days, typical of air show event support. One award (the Beale Air Force Base contract) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $7 thousand in recompete exposure. The vendor carries no identified subcontract footprint and no parent contract vehicles or GWACs.
