About this file

This is an Air Force Determination Memorandum for Limited Sources Acquisitions, a justification document for restricting competition to a single source vendor for a contract valued under the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000.

The acquisition pertains to transit advertising services on Phoenix Light Rail trains and kiosks at Goldwater ANG Base/161ARW in Arizona, with a contract value of $70,100 for a 24-week advertising period. The proposed contractor is Outfront Media (CAGE Code Y9EKL), classified as an O&M (Operations and Maintenance) purchase under request number W50S6R26QA002. The justification for sole-source procurement is that only one vendor, Outfront Media, currently maintains a contract with Phoenix Light Rail (Valley Metro) to provide advertising services, making them the exclusive authorized source for this requirement under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2). Market research validated both the value of utilizing Phoenix Light Rail for recruiting purposes and the identification of the sole source vendor. The contracting officer, Adrian Hreshchyshyn, certified on March 8, 2026, that this limited-source approach serves the government's best interest. The memorandum identifies no foreseeable barriers to future competition and notes that no alternative actions are necessary to overcome competition limitations.
