Page 1 of 1Updated: 9 Jun 16

Section A: General Contract Information

Contracting Activity: 56 CONS/PKA

Project/Program Name: T-33 Aerial Demonstration

Purchase Request/Identification Number: F2U0105055A001

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $16,000.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The contractor will conduct a dual ship aerial performance in the T-33 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 Ace Maker Aviation who is the only T-33 Shooting Star act in North America with a surface level waiver and authentic US Air Force painted aircraft. They are also the only 2 ship T-33 air act. Efforts to find a suitable alternative to solicit to have been exhausted.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

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 T-33 demonstration with the required waivers and licenses.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

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.

Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination

I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
