Sources Sought - Oboe

The 11th Contracting Squadron is seeking sources to perform on the oboe with the United States Air Force Band. This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ). This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued for informational and planning purposes only. It is not to be misconstrued as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be made as a result of this RFI. The Air Force will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this RFI. The USAF Band is looking for a qualified, interested, and experienced source to play on the oboe during a 1 week recording session. The source must have a minimum of 3-5 years professional experience of solo and ensemble proficiency, as well as comprehensive oboe expertise in tone, rhythm, intonation, musicality and blend. The source must also be able to take a government credit card as a means of payment.

Chaudhry via email at [email protected], or fax to (202) 767-7887. Additionally, sources must submit a sample of their work (on a CD) to Lt. Chaudhry at the following address: 11th Contracting Squadron, 20 MacDill Blvd, Suite 400, Bolling AFB, DC 20032-0101.
