About this file

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition issued by the 47th Contracting Squadron at Laughlin Air Force Base. The contracting activity seeks a specialized air show performance service for the Laughlin AFB 2026 Air Show, with an estimated contract cost of $8,000.00 (Purchase Request F2R0F16021A001). The required service involves flying a T-33 aircraft for aerobatic demonstration, static display, or coordinated flight performances with fighter jets for re-enactment purposes.

The justification for single-source award to Ace Maker Air Shows is based on the contractor's exclusive capability to operate T-33 aircraft for aerial display performances in the United States. The contracting officer documented efforts to identify alternative sources through consultation with multiple industry professionals at the 2025 ICAS Convention and internet search, neither of which revealed competing contractors. Major Neal Molzon from the 47th Flying Training Wing confirmed that Mr. Colyer of Ace Maker Air Shows is the only known source for T-33 air show performances. The Contracting Officer, Dariela Parizo, issued her determination on January 26, 2026, finding that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). To prevent future single-source awards, the Air Force intends to broaden future open house event requirements to include a wider variety of historic aircraft display options and historical educational engagement opportunities.
