SSJ - P-51 Performer_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 81st Training Wing, Keesler AFB, Mississippi. The procurement is for an aerial demonstration performance of "WarBird" P-51 aerobatic performances for the 2025 Air Show Open House, occurring from 31 October 2025 through 02 November 2025.

Market research was conducted using sources like AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA Advantage, which resulted in zero alternative vendors. CAF Red Tail Squadron is identified as the only known contractor that can provide a unique P-51 aircraft for aerial display and performance, with limited vintage aircraft available and performers restricting themselves to regional shows. The contracting activity is the 81st Contracting Squadron, and for future events, they plan to consider a wider variety of historic aircraft display options to prevent potential competition limitations.
