This solicitation, FA480326Q0001, issued by the Department of the Air Force at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, seeks firm-fixed-price proposals from small businesses to provide comprehensive narrator, public address, and audio technician services at the Shaw Air & Space Expo, scheduled from March 27 through March 29, 2026. The contractor is responsible for supplying all necessary personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, coordination, lodging, and transportation to support the Air Show Control Point’s audio and narration requirements. Services must accommodate large audiences of over 50,000 spectators including VIP areas and integrate seamlessly with the Air Force Thunderbirds’ public address support. The Performance Work Statement dated November 20, 2025, outlines detailed expectations concerning narration experience, audio system specifications, system interoperability, and operational coordination, while also setting forth criteria for compensation, cancellation, insurance, lodging, and transportation obligations. Proposals will be evaluated on three primary factors: technical acceptability (including proof of FAA authorization and liability insurance), past performance through submitted questionnaires, and price, with trade-offs permitted to select the most advantageous offer rather than lowest price alone. This contract is set aside entirely for small businesses under NAICS code 711320. Submission of quotes, due by December 22, 2025, must include a technical approach limited to seven pages, pricing reflecting whole-dollar amounts, and completed regulatory representations and certifications. Award administration includes strict compliance with numerous federal acquisition regulations and clauses addressing cyber security, ethics, labor standards, prohibited sources, and government installation access. Payments and invoicing will be processed electronically via the Wide Area WorkFlow system, and inspection and acceptance will occur at Shaw AFB. The contract imposes conditions on contractor personnel, requiring base access badges and adherence to safety and cybersecurity protocols, and prohibits procurement from certain restricted regions and entities. Overall, this solicitation mandates a highly coordinated, professional audio and narration solution tailored for a high-profile military-sponsored air show event.
