Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 60 CONS LGC office at Travis Air Force Base, CA, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for P-63 and C-47A Static Display, Flyby, and Airdrop Demonstration services. This action justifies a non-competitive award to Palm Springs Air Museum Inc. for the Travis AFB Wings over Solano Airshow.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for Static Demonstration services involving a P-63 and a C-47A aircraft. The selected contractor is responsible for providing all necessary personnel, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and services to execute these aerial static demonstration services.
Contract Details
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) (Only one responsible source).
- Set-Aside: None. A search for Small Business contractors under NAICS 711219 found no capable firms. The identified source, Palm Springs Air Museum Inc., is a Large Business.
- Published: April 15, 2026.
- Place of Performance: Travis Air Force Base, CA.
Evaluation & Justification
The government determined that Palm Springs Air Museum Inc. is the only vendor capable of meeting the specific requirements due to their unique ability to provide the required number and type of aircraft, transport them, and meet the tight turnaround timeframe, largely attributed to their location. A presolicitation notice was posted as a sources sought and intent to sole source. While this is a JOFOC, other capable contractors may still submit their capabilities in response to the posted notice for consideration.
Additional Notes
This justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), indicating that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. For future requirements, the agency plans to provide more lead time to allow for broader competition.
