Description

This contract is a sole‑source award for Air Boss services at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, covering the First State Airshow and Open House scheduled for June 10‑13 2027. The contractor must provide all personnel, equipment, generators, narration, public‑address audio, ground‑support logistics, and FAA coordination to operate the airshow safely and successfully.

The contractor must also handle regulatory compliance, badge/security processing, and reporting requirements. • Provide Air Boss command, FAA waiver acquisition, and coordination with ATC, emergency services, and base security. • Deliver narration services and a complete PA‑system (speakers, microphones, generators, control platform ≥ 320 sq ft) for the two‑day event. • Supply ground‑support logistics (fuel, smoke‑oil, equipment handling) and maintain liability insurance throughout the event.

Contract value

$350,000

The contract covers a two‑day airshow with full Air Boss command, narration, PA‑system installation (including generators, speakers, microphones, and control platform), and ground‑support logistics. Comparable Air Boss contracts for military airshows typically range from $150,000 to $500,000 depending on equipment complexity, personnel levels, and liability insurance. Given the requirement for a 5,000‑ft PA coverage for ≥ 50,000 spectators, generator backup, and specialized ground‑support, a reasonable mid‑range estimate is approximately $350,000. This ballpark accounts for personnel fees, equipment rental/purchase, fuel, insurance, and administrative overhead.
