SSJ - TBM Avenger Static -.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 81st Training Wing, Keesler AFB, Mississippi. The procurement is for a TBM Avenger Warbird Static display for the 2025 Air Show Open House from 31 October 2025 through 02 November 2025. Market research was conducted by reviewing sources like AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA Advantage, which resulted in zero vendors found. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov for 7 days, and while small businesses were contacted, none could provide the service.

CBS Aviation LLC was identified as the only known source for the TBM Avenger Static display, limited by the unique nature of the vintage aircraft market. The contract is being awarded to CBS Aviation LLC as the sole source, with a recommendation of "Other Than Full and Open Competition". The 81st Contracting Squadron is handling the procurement, and future open house events will consider a wider variety of historical aircraft display options to prevent limitation of competition. The contracting officer, Joshua L. Brown, determined on 02-Sep-2025 that a single source is reasonably available in accordance with federal acquisition regulations.
