About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, through the 47th Contracting Squadron at Laughlin Air Force Base, issued a post-award single-source justification notice for contract FA309926P0009 on February 5, 2026, for air show performance services valued at $8,000. The contract, awarded to Ace Maker Air Shows on January 29, 2026, covers specialized aerobatic demonstration and coordinated flight performances using a T-33 aircraft for the Laughlin AFB 2026 Air Show. The contracting officer justified the single-source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) based on the contractor's exclusive capability to operate T-33 aircraft for aerial display performances in the United States, with no competing sources identified despite documented market research conducted at the 2025 ICAS Convention and through internet searches. Major Neal Molzon from the 47th Flying Training Wing confirmed that Mr. Colyer of Ace Maker Air Shows represents the only known source for T-33 air show performances. To mitigate future single-source awards, the Air Force indicated plans to broaden future open house event requirements to include a wider variety of historic aircraft and enhanced historical educational engagement opportunities.
