Quick Summary
The 55th Contracting Squadron (55 CONS), under the Department of the Air Force, has an ongoing requirement for event parking management services for the 2026 Offutt Air Force Base "Defenders of Freedom" Air and Space Show in St Columbans, NE. The air show is scheduled for August 8-9, 2026. While the Government intends to award a sole source contract to Solutions Event Services, Inc. due to their proprietary parking plan, this is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. Other responsible small businesses are invited to submit capabilities statements by April 11, 2026, 4:00 PM CDT, to be considered for a potential future Oral Solicitation.
Scope of Work
The required services include:
- Implementing the 2026 Offutt AFB Air Show parking plan.
- Providing a ticketing solution for base access due to on-site parking.
