The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 55th Contracting Squadron, issued this sources sought notice for an air show act to perform a World War II air-to-ground attack reenactment at the Offutt Air Force Base "Defenders of Freedom" Air and Space Show. The event is scheduled for August 8 and August 9, 2026, in St. Columbans, Nebraska. The required services include a full reenactment utilizing eight replica Japanese aircraft—including Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters, Aichi D3A dive bombers, and Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers—integrated with ground-based pyrotechnics and historical narration.
The government intends to award a sole source contract for these services to the Commemorative Air Force (CAGE: 06JG4), performing as Tora Tora Tora, based on the unique nature of their act and specialized certifications. Performance requires pilots certified by the Federal Aviation Administration and a pyrotechnic team holding both state-issued shooter licenses and federal ATF licensing for high-hazard explosives. This procurement is identified under NAICS 711320 for Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities and PSC G003 for Social-Recreational services.
There is no set-aside for this requirement. Although the Air Force intends to pursue a sole source award, responsible entities may submit capabilities statements and detailed descriptions of alternative solutions by the June 16, 2026, response deadline. The primary point of contact for solicitation FA4600_Airshow_WWII_Reenactment is Tyler Imhoff. One attachment, a Statement of Work dated June 1, 2026, is included with the notice.
