SSJ - T-6 Performer_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 81st Training Wing, Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi. The procurement is for aerial demonstration of a "WarBird" T-6 aerobatic performance from 31 October 2025 through 02 November 2025. Tailwinds Services and Commodities LLC is the sole source contractor, as market research found no other companies capable of providing the two-ship T-6 aerobatic performance due to the limited vintage aircraft market and specific performance requirements.

The Purchase Request/Local ID Number is F2J0W85168A008, with the contracting activity handled by the 81st Contracting Squadron. Market research utilizing sources like AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA Advantage resulted in zero alternative vendors. The document recommends a sole source award, with plans to consider a wider variety of historic aircraft display options in future events to prevent competition limitations. The Contracting Officer, Joshua L. Brown, signed the determination on 26-Aug-2025, affirming that a single source is reasonably available under Federal Acquisition Regulation guidelines.
