About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for aerial demonstration services at the 2025 Keesler AFB Air Show. The government intends to award a non-competitive contract to Ozark Aerosports LLC for BAC Jet Provost aerobatic performance services during the air show event scheduled for October 31 through November 2, 2025. This sole source procurement is being executed under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), which allows for single source contracting when only one vendor can meet the specific requirement. The contract falls under the simplified acquisition threshold and is classified under NAICS code 711510 for Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers. The contracting activity conducted market research through AbilityOne, UNICOR, and GSA Advantage but found no other available sources for this specialized requirement.
The sole source justification is based on Ozark Aerosports LLC's unique capability to provide a BAC Jet Provost aircraft for aerial display, which has extremely limited availability in the vintage aircraft market. While this is not a request for competitive quotes, the government will consider any capability statements or quotes submitted by interested parties before the deadline of 3:00 PM CST on September 12, 2025. All submissions must be sent via email to the designated contracting officer at joshua.brown.138@us.af.mil. There are no specific eligibility criteria mentioned beyond the ability to provide the specialized BAC Jet Provost aircraft and aerobatic performance services. The government acknowledges the narrow market for vintage military aircraft and has noted that future air show events will consider a wider variety of historic aircraft display options to avoid similar single-source limitations. The final determination to proceed with sole source procurement remains at the government's discretion regardless of any responses received.
