About this file
This is a Single Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition submitted by the 56th Contracting Squadron. The procurement is for an aerial demonstration performance in B-17 and C-47 aircraft at the 2026 Luke Air Force Base Air Show, with an estimated contract cost of $12,000.00 and purchase request identification number F2U0106006A001.
The justification identifies the Commemorative Air Force as the sole available source capable of meeting the requirement, as it is the only B-17 and C-47 demonstration act in North America possessing both the required surface-level waiver and authentic U.S. Air Force painted aircraft. The contracting officer documented in-depth market research confirming no alternative vendors can provide the same demonstration with the required waivers and licenses. The contracting officer's determination, signed by Jacqueline C. Aranda (GS-13) on January 15, 2026, concludes that only a single source is reasonably available under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The document commits to conducting extensive future market research to identify alternative air acts for subsequent airshow competitions to prevent recurring single-source awards.

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $12,000.00
Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required
The contractor will conduct an aerial performance in the B-17 and C-47 aircraft at the 2026 Luke AFB Air Show.
Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name
The rationale for limiting sources is due to the uniqueness in nature of the Luke AFB Air Show preparations, necessitating a streamlined procurement process . The aforementioned air acts are unique to Commemorative Air Force who is the only B-17 and C-47 act in North America with a surface level waiver and authentic US Air Force painted aircraft. Efforts to find a suitable alternative to solicit to have been exhausted.

In-depth market research was conducted to determine if there are vendors that could meet this requirement finding that there is no one else that provides a B-17 and C-47 demonstration with the required waivers and licenses.

In the future, we will continue to conduct extensive market research, in order to find an air act that can provide the same or similar acts, so as to avoid the exclusion of competition for future airshows.
