About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command issued a sole source justification for the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation to provide specialized air show services for the 2026 Luke AFB Air Show. The $16,780 contract requires the Foundation to deliver three tactical aerial demonstrations using UH1 and AH1 aircraft, along with two fully restored warbirds (OH6A and UH1M) for static display during the event. The Air Force justified the sole source procurement based on the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation's unique qualifications, including their extensive history, aircraft certifications, exemplary safety record, aircraft presentation standards, and high professional reputation within the air show industry. The contracting officer determined that only this single source was reasonably available after conducting market research through the International Conference of Air Show Participants (ICAS), where evaluation teams spend approximately three days assessing vintage aircraft vendors. Contract FA488725P0071 was awarded on August 8, 2025, with the original contract dated July 11, 2025, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for simplified acquisitions where only one source is reasonably available.
Notice text
The rationale for limiting sources is due to the uniqueness in nature of the Luke AFB Air Show preparations, necessitating a streamlined procurement process. The aforementioned air act is unique to Army Aviation Heritage Foundation and one of the preferred choice air acts based upon the history, certification and training, safety record, aircraft cleanliness and presentation, professionalism and the high esteem in which it is held by members of the Air Show industry.
Awarded contract FA488725P0071 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-08-08.
