IAW FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. AFI 11-410 - Personnel Parachute Operations with ACC Supplement, specifically 6.11.1.4, authorizes ACC qualified parachutists to perform tandem operations upon completion of a tandem course and receiving certification from either another MAJCOM or Complete Parachute Solutions (CPS).

AFI 11-410 with ACC Supplement will have to change to include more private companies to provide the training.
