The 55th Contracting Squadron has an ongoing requirement to acquire a jet aerobatic demonstration for an air show utilizing one MiG-17F and one F-4 aircraft. The Offutt Air Force Base “Defenders of Freedom” Air and Space Show will be held at Offutt AFB, Nebraska on August 8 and August 9, 2026.
The Government intends to award a contract for these services on a sole source basis to Fighterjets Inc (3BRB8). Fighterjets Inc is believed to be the only responsible source and no other services will satisfy agency requirements. Fighterjets Inc is the only known entity on the air show circuit that can provide a fighter jet aerobatic demonstration involving a MiG-17F and F-4 aircraft. Fighterjets Inc pilot Randy Ball is the only fighter jet demonstration pilot in North America to hold a Level I (unlimited) Jet Aerobatic Day and Night certification. This highly exclusive FAA certification is required to perform extreme, high-performance stunt maneuvers in jet aircraft during day, evening, and nighttime air shows. This certification allows Fighter Jets Inc to perform jet aerobatics without sequence restrictions.
Although the Government intends to award a contract on a sole source basis, all responsible entities may submit a quotation which will be considered by the contracting activity. In order to be determined responsible, entities must present similar certification to perform fighter jet aerobatics. Responses shall be sent via email to the listed point of contact via email and shall use the Notice ID in the subject line.
