    2025 JBA Air Show Parking single_source_justification_CO Signed1.pdf
    The document outlines a Single Source Justification for the rental of parking lots needed to accommodate 10,000 vehicles during the 2025 Open House & Air Show at Joint Base Andrews, which is expected to attract over 100,000 attendees. Due to the unique nature of the requirements for parking infrastructure, crowd control, and security screening, a market survey concluded that only one viable option exists within the local D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area, specifically WMATA Metro Stations. The survey and subsequent analysis indicated that other potential locations could not fully meet the criteria needed for effective management and support of the event. The document asserts that full competition is not feasible, as a combination of venues would complicate logistics and increase costs. It emphasizes the commitment of future show staff to seek innovative solutions for parking needs while recognizing the limited availability of commercial options suited for such high-capacity events. The contracting officer, Antoine Toran, concluded that a single source is necessary for this contract action, confirming compliance with federal acquisition regulations. This justification reflects a significant operational requirement within the context of event planning for federal installations.
