About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command issued a sole source justification for an aerial demonstration performance at the 2026 Luke Air Force Base Air Show, with an estimated contract value of $12,000.00. The Commemorative Air Force was awarded contract FA488726P0011 as the sole available source capable of providing authentic B-17 and C-47 aircraft demonstrations, as it is the only organization in North America possessing both the required surface-level waiver and genuine U.S. Air Force painted aircraft necessary for the performance. The contracting officer conducted extensive market research confirming that no alternative vendors could provide equivalent demonstration capabilities with the requisite waivers and licenses, justifying the single-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The 56th Contracting Squadron documented this determination on January 15, 2026, for purchase request identification number F2U0106006A001. While this sole source award was necessary to meet the specific requirements of the Luke Air Show, the contracting officer committed to conducting comprehensive future market research to identify alternative air acts for subsequent airshow competitions to mitigate recurring single-source awards.
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 acts are unique to Commemorative Air Force who is the only B-17 and C-47 act in North America with a surface level waiver and authentic US Air Force painted aircraft. Efforts to find a suitable alternative to solicit to have been exhausted.
Awarded contract FA488726P0011 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-01-21.
