About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for the Luke Days 2026 T-33 Air Act, awarding a contract to Ace Maker Aviation for an aerial performance at the 2026 Luke AFB Air Show. The contract, valued at approximately $16,000, was justified based on Ace Maker Aviation's unique capabilities as the only T-33 Shooting Star act in North America with a surface-level waiver and authentic US Air Force painted aircraft. The vendor is also the sole provider of a two-ship T-33 air act, which was deemed critical for the air show's specific requirements. Contracting officer Jacqueline C. Aranda determined on March 13, 2025, that no alternative vendors could meet the precise performance specifications, thus warranting a single-source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The procurement aims to streamline air show preparation and represents a targeted approach to securing a specialized aerial performance for the event.
