The Liberty Foundation. Inc.

The Liberty Foundation, Inc. is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization based in Douglas, Georgia, that specializes in providing specialized aviation services to federal agencies. The organization operates historical and vintage military aircraft and serves as a trusted partner to multiple federal entities for pilot training, aerial demonstrations, and public outreach initiatives related to aviation heritage and safety. With its SAM.gov registration active through March 12, 2026, The Liberty Foundation has established itself as a consistent provider of niche aviation services that support government agencies' operational and educational missions.

The Liberty Foundation has secured multiple federal contract awards across diverse aviation-related services spanning from 2023 through 2025. The organization has provided Douglas DC-3 pilot training services—including both initial qualification and recurrent qualification courses—to the Federal Aviation Administration through numerous delivery orders valued between $12,300 and $34,860, with training conducted primarily in Oklahoma City. Beyond pilot training, The Liberty Foundation has delivered specialized aerial performance and static demonstration services to the U.S. Air Force, including a $6,400 firm fixed-price purchase order for a C-47 aerial performance and static demonstration at the FY24 Charleston Air Show, and a $33,000 purchase order for a B-25 warbird air show and open house event in Georgia. Most notably, the Department of Defense awarded a $99,744 firm fixed-price purchase order in June 2025 for an eight-aircraft flyover in Washington, DC, supporting a near-term commemorative or public outreach activity. All contract awards to The Liberty Foundation have been issued without set-aside designations, indicating the organization competed for these opportunities in open procurement environments. The organization has not identified prime contractors or subcontractors in its federal award history, operating exclusively as the prime awardee on all contract actions.

The Liberty Foundation maintains two active Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) vehicles with the Federal Aviation Administration for Douglas DC-3 pilot training services. The first IDC, awarded on December 6, 2023, has a ceiling value of $190,500 with an ultimate completion date of April 20, 2027, issued by FAA Headquarters. The second IDC, awarded on April 21, 2021, carries a ceiling value of $187,200 with a completion date of April 20, 2024, issued through the FAA's Franchise Acquisition Services component. Both contracts are single-award vehicles with no set-aside designations, providing the FAA with flexible ordering mechanisms to procure required pilot training services on an as-needed basis. Under these IDC vehicles, the FAA Headquarters and Franchise Acquisition Services divisions have issued multiple delivery orders for Douglas DC-3 recurrent and initial qualification training courses, demonstrating ongoing demand for The Liberty Foundation's specialized expertise in operating and providing instruction on this critical historical aircraft platform. The combined potential value of these two active IDCs exceeds $377,000, underscoring the FAA's reliance on The Liberty Foundation as a primary source for Douglas DC-3 pilot training services supporting the agency's general aviation certification and safety programs.
