AVGAS Single Source Justification Approval Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract opportunity with the 502d Contracting Squadron. The project involves providing 9,000 gallons of 100 Low Lead (LL) AVGAS aviation gasoline to support the 2026 Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Great Air Show and Open House. The period of performance runs from May 1, 2026 to May 3, 2026, with the place of performance at JBSA-Randolph AFB, TX 78150. The contract is anticipated to be structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement. The contractor must comply with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and Department of the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DAFARS), as well as all FAA procedures. Additional contractor responsibilities include coordinating with the Air Boss, Combat Flight Rules, Airfield Management, Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON)/Tower, and the FAA, in addition to attending all required safety and flight sequence briefings.

The justification for sole-source award is based on comprehensive market research revealing that only one vendor is prepared, willing, and equipped to provide the necessary fueling services. Initial market research identified two other potential local vendors; however, neither could meet the specific requirements for the 2026 JBSA Air Show. One vendor lacked authorization to provide fueling services outside their designated location, while the other lacked the necessary refueling assets to deliver the required 9,000 gallons. A public Notice of Intent to Sole Source yielded no responses from alternative vendors, confirming the absence of viable competitors. The Contracting Officer determined on March 17, 2026, that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The Government commits to proactively monitoring the market and conducting continuous research to evaluate other vendors' capabilities to foster future competition.
