Iso Shove Range Question

UTG+1 shoves for 12BB at an 8 handed table, I have 50BB in the CO, B has around 20BB and both of the blinds cover me. I decided to iso with a range of 99+, AQ+ and AJs and I'm wondering how accurate this is and whether I should have a flatting range here - I was considering flatting the top and bottom of my range and shoving the more middling stuff that I still can't get away from only 50BB deep but don't want to induce action with. There are no longer re-entries but we're still 15 or so from the bubble so I don't think ICM is too relevant here. However, this is a $5.50 buy in where I don't think it's unfair to say I have a very significant post flop edge on almost the entire field so there is something to be said for reducing my variance and "living to fight another day". I'm interested in how to play this spot in a vacuum and then whether you'd alter your ranges slightly to account for our EV in future pots that we get to play vs a very weak field.

Are we battling for a bounty here or is it normal freezeout? If its a normal freezeout with 50BB personally 66+ A7s+ ATo+ maybe even A9o+ all seems profitable play for me to iso.

Yeah no bounty just a normal freeze out, that's quite interesting, it's a lot wider than I would have assumed but I'm not typically a tournament player.

Thats just my opinion and what i'd play with though.. in a bounty people are going to call wider, in a freezeout theyre just going to call profitable hands in to multiway shoves such as AKs, AKo, AA, KK QQ, maybe JJ, AQs, AQo. So, even with 66 isolating here is best as we can avoid the multiway pot and flip it with a 12BB range.

15 off ITM is very close to the bubble, unless it is a very small field MTT.
I do not knwo why you would want to hve much of a jamming range here at all. You are forced to call off vs BU any hand you choose to call with and can decide vs the blinds.

The blinds should not really flat much vs such a huge raise+overcaller anyway and you can play quite well vs a jam. Obv there are a few hands that you would rather jam than flat (~AQo,AJs, 88-99,KQs) and you can do that.

Exaclty that!
You have to consider ICM, therefore calling tighter than cEV (shover should be shoving a tigher range) and only calling, never jamming.
Your calling range should be this: (And only calling off TT+, AQs+ vs others players allin.)
