Hanger Rental JA - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a parachute packing facility rental at Madras Municipal Airport in Oregon. The requirement is to secure a clean, climate-controlled hangar facility from 07-12 Jun 2025 to support parachute repacking and drying operations for the 304th Rescue Squadron (RQS). The 100 ft x 80 ft facility must be free of obstructions, well-lit, and have smooth flooring to prevent canopy damage, with temperature control and cleanliness being critical to preserving parachute integrity and meeting safety standards.

The justification for single-source procurement is based on Erickson Airshow Collection being the only known vendor located on the Madras Municipal Airport premises capable of meeting the specific requirements. The facility is within walking distance of the jump zone, enabling immediate post-jump canopy recovery and repack, which eliminates risks associated with transporting parachutes off-site. The requirement is tied to an existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for airlift support, with the 304 RQS being restricted to using Madras Municipal Airport due to limitations imposed by the contract. The document indicates that market research and System for Award Management (SAM) database searches did not identify alternative vendors meeting the operational and safety requirements.
