Sole Source JA- 25QA102 -Acemaker.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition from the 355th Contracting Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB for the 2025 Airshow Ace Maker performance. The requirement is for two vintage Air Force design T-33 aircraft for static display and 15-minute performances during the 2025 Thunder and Lightning Over Arizona Airshow scheduled for March 21-23, 2025, with an estimated contract cost of $16,500.00.

Ace Maker is identified as the sole source provider due to their unique capability to provide T-33 Warbird demonstrations, with their fleet based in California containing rare, one-of-a-kind T-33 aircraft. The contractor must comply with FAA safety management systems requirements and demonstrate the highest safety standards. The Contracting Officer has determined, per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that only a single source is reasonably available. The 355th Contracting Squadron plans to conduct market research for future requirements to identify alternative Warbird providers and promote competition.
