Description

This solicitation seeks a sole‑source award for an Air Boss contractor to provide comprehensive air‑show services for the Dover AFB Open‑House event on June 12‑13, 2027. The contractor will be responsible for air‑boss coordination, live narration, sound services, ground‑operation support, FAA waiver acquisition, and all necessary safety briefings. The performance period is limited to two days, with mandatory on‑site readiness beginning June 11, 2027. The contract will be paid on a lump‑sum basis after performance via WAWF, with no advance payments, and the contractor must carry at least $1 million in liability insurance and meet stringent security, badge, and records‑management requirements. • Scope includes air‑boss leadership, narration, sound, ground servicing, and FAA approvals for a two‑day air show. • Required experience: minimum 200 hours with warbirds, prior military air‑show or Air Boss experience, and prior work with jet teams (Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Snowbirds). • Contractor must provide VHF radios, comply with AF records‑management, submit labor reports by Oct 31 each fiscal year, and process invoices through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).

Contract value

$250,000

No explicit dollar amount is disclosed. Based on comparable two‑day Air Boss contracts at major military installations, which typically range from $150,000 to $400,000 depending on the complexity of FAA waivers, equipment, and insurance requirements, a reasonable midpoint estimate is roughly $250,000. This accounts for labor, equipment (VHF radios, sound gear), insurance, and the limited performance window.
