The government intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Perris Valley Aviation Services for the Test Parachutist Program at Edwards AFB. This combined synopsis/solicitation requires the contractor to provide aircraft, pilots, USPA instructors, and facilities—including a vertical wind tunnel—with drop zones and pads located within 150 miles of Edwards AFB. The sole source justification is based on the vendor being the only one capable of meeting these requirements, as other potential sources lack the needed infrastructure. Interested parties may submit a capability statement for consideration, though this is not a request for competitive proposals.

The government intends to award on a sole-source basis to Perris Valley Aviation Services for supporting the Test Parachutist Program at Edwards AFB. The contractor must provide aircraft, pilots, USPA course instructors, and facilities, including an owner-operated drop zone within 150 miles, an on-site vertical wind tunnel, training and packing facilities, FAA-certified riggers/mechanics, and door/ramp-capable aircraft for day and night operations. The sole-source justification states only Perris Valley Aviation can meet these requirements due to its infrastructure and proximity. Other responsible sources may submit capability statements for consideration, though the government reserves discretion on whether to compete. Performance is located at Edwards AFB and the surrounding drop-zone area.
