About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (AETC), specifically the 47th Contracting Squadron at Laughlin Air Force Base, issued this sole source justification for contract FA309926P0013 to procure aerial demonstration and static display services for the 2026 Fiesta of Flight Air Show. The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Central Texas Flightline Services Detachment was awarded the contract valued at $26,200.00 to provide both an aerial performance featuring historic military aircraft (B-25, BT-13, C-45, C-47, and U-3) and a static display exhibition. The contracting officer determined that the CAF represents the only reasonably available source capable of delivering a specialized "Central Texas" air act performance within the United States, a conclusion supported by comprehensive market research including industry consultations at the 2023 and 2025 ICAS Conventions and internet searches that identified no competitive alternatives. Contracting Officer Alejandro Alvarado (GS-13) approved the single-source procurement on January 27, 2026, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing the exclusive availability of this specialized service and referencing the previous successful contract (FA300924P0017) for the same airshow requirement.
