About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract opportunity at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base for the 2025 Thunder and Lightning Over Arizona Airshow. The notice indicates an intent to directly award a contract to Ace Maker Aviation LLC for providing vintage T-33 aircraft performances during the March 21-23, 2025 event. The contract is classified under the NAICS category for Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events without Facilities and has a total estimated value of $16,500.00. The opportunity was posted on December 4, 2024, with a response deadline of December 12, 2024. The sole source justification is based on Ace Maker Aviation's unique capability to provide T-33 Warbird demonstrations using rare, one-of-a-kind aircraft.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to procure performance services for the 2025 airshow, specifically requiring two vintage T-33 aircraft for static display and 15-minute performances. Potential contractors are invited to review the sole source justification and submit any competitive responses via email to the points of contact listed in the notice by the specified deadline. Ace Maker Aviation has been identified as the sole source provider due to their specialized fleet and demonstration capabilities, with the Contracting Officer determining that no alternative providers are reasonably available. The contractor must comply with FAA safety management systems requirements and demonstrate high safety standards. The 355th Contracting Squadron plans to conduct market research for future requirements to potentially identify alternative Warbird providers and promote competition. Contractors interested in challenging the sole source determination should submit their capabilities and evidence of comparable service offerings before the December 12, 2024 deadline.
