Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

"Tora, Tora, Tora" will be providing a full reenactment of a WWII air-to-ground attack with pyrotechnics and their own announcer. The act will consist of eight replica Japanese aircraft composed of Zero fighters, Kate torpedo bombers, and Val dive-bombers. Furthermore, "Tora, Tora, Tora" will provide additional pyrotechnics for selected additional air show acts. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision and other items and services to provide static display, a media flight and an airborne aircraft demonstration.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The Commemorative Air Force's (CAF) "Tora, Tora, Tora" is the only long-standing act with replica WWII Japanese aircraft, pyrotechnics, and an included announcer. Since they are based out of Pearland Regional, TX, their travel costs are greatly reduced as compared to trying to piecemeal multiple warbirds into a single act. Most importantly, their safety record, longstanding success within the air show industry, and their experience with Altus AFB's prior Air Shows make "Tora, Tora, Tora" uniquely qualified.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

The CAF's "Tora, Tora, Tora," act is the only 8-ship WWII Japanese air-to-ground pyrotechnic act that includes eight WWII era aircraft, full pyrotechnic support, and an announcer. Full research was conducted via the Internet and during the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) annual convention. Lt Col Heinlein (Altus Air Force Base Open House Director) attended ICAS to determine if there were other acts that could provide the same performance at the desired time. 97 CONS has done extensive research utilizing Electronic Documents Access (EDA) and FPDS-NG and we have found that the air shows all use the same acts that are present at ICAS.

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

For future air shows, research will be done through the International Council of Air Shows to determine if any other organizations are developing these capabilities. Market research will also be conducted through the Internet and the Electronic Documents Access (EDA) system.
