Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: 55 CONS/PKB

Project/Program Name: FY24 Offutt Airshow - MiG-17F

Purchase Request / Local ID Number: TBD

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options): $9,694.00

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

This requirement is for the 2024 “Defenders of Freedom” Airshow on Offutt AFB on or about 24 August - 25 August 2024. 38 RS is seeking a vendor that can provide a MiG-17F aircraft. Vendor shall meet the requirements outlined in the Statement of Work.

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

The 38 RS is seeking justification for a sole source award to Fighter Jet's Inc. The basis for the sole/single source award is that the Fighter Jets Inc is the sole owner of all registered MiG-17F aircrafts on the Airshow circuit. Jet Fighter Inc's owner and pilot, Randy Ball, is the only fighter jet pilot in North America to hold a Level I (unlimited) Jet Aerobatic Day and Night certification. Therefore, Randy Ball and Fighter Jets Inc is the only vendor capable of meeting the requirement outlined in the Statement of Work. In addition to over20,000 hours of total flying time, 34 years of air show experience, and 1,500+ performances, Randy Ball has prior air show and performing experience at Offutt AFB (over 15 Offutt Airshows).

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Requiring unit was unable to find another MiG-17F aircraft performer while conducting market research at the 2023 International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) conference. Market research also revealed that all current registered MiG-17F aircrafts are associated with Fighter Jets Inc and Randy Ball. Additionally, their pilot(s) are the only known pilots to hold a Level I Jet Aerobatic Day and Night certification.

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

Although Fighter Jets Inc is currently the only capable source to fulfill this requirement, future market research will be conducted on similar future requirements to see if any more entities have entered the market with the qualifications that are being sought.
