AI Contract Overview

The Department of Defense, through the 20 Contracting Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, plans to award a sole-source contract to Fighter Jets Inc. for a live MiG-17 aerobatic performance at the Shaw AFB Airshow scheduled for March 27–29, 2026. This procurement, issued under solicitation number FA480326Q0013 with a submission deadline of December 30, 2026, is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside and conducted under simplified acquisition procedures per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The award is justified by a unique source determination based on FAR 6.302-1, citing that Fighter Jets Inc. exclusively owns all registered MiG-17F aircraft and employs Randy Ball, the only pilot in North America holding the Level I unlimited Jet Aerobatic Day and Night certification required for the performance. The contract centers on a one-time event requiring specialized aerobatic demonstration expertise and capabilities that no other vendor can provide. The government’s justification includes thorough market research conducted at the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) 2025, confirming the absence of alternative sources. The key deliverable is a professional, safe, and highly technical MiG-17 flight demonstration performed before a public audience at Shaw AFB, with success contingent on flawless execution by Randy Ball. The contract lacks detailed pricing information, formal evaluation factors, or inspection and acceptance procedures, reflecting a streamlined simplified acquisition focused solely on the unique qualifications of the vendor and key personnel. Administrative contacts are established within the 20 CONS/PKA office, but specifics on invoicing, contract type, and formal quality standards or packaging requirements are not detailed in the documentation. The contract includes special conditions emphasizing the irreplaceability of the aircraft and pilot, aligning with the sole-source acquisition rationale, and incorporates a forward-looking plan to monitor market competition for future requirements.
