Singe Source Justification_Air Show Act.pdf

This Single Source Justification document outlines a sole-source contract for a T-6 aerobatic performance at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming on 26 July 2025. The contract requires the selected performer to provide aerial demonstration services, including management, tools, and logistics, with specific performance criteria: a minimum 10-minute performance, capability of unrestricted day/night solo aerobatic performance with circle-the-jumpers, a T6/SNJ/Harvard certification, minimum 3 years of surface-level aerobatic experience, and $1,000,000 personal liability insurance.

Break Even Aircraft Resourcing LLC was identified as the sole vendor capable of fulfilling the contract requirements after market research revealed no other vendors could provide the necessary services. The justification notes that selecting a performer with inherent high-risk aerial performances necessitates a vendor with demonstrated experience and proficiency. The contracting officer determined that only a single source is reasonably available in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b), with future mitigation strategies including exploring alternative air show acts and potentially posting a sources sought for other civilian aerial demonstration performers.
