Place of performance is Oxnard, California, with work conducted nationwide and at subordinate federal agencies' operational locations. All BPA calls issued under this vehicle carry total small business set-aside designations and firm fixed-price structures.

BPA calls issued under this vehicle since January 2023 include aircraft rental support for Navy radar combat systems testing in Southern California (Naval Sea Systems Command, multiple calls totaling over $400,000 across several completion dates through 2026), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service breeding duck surveys in Spokane, Washington ($29,691.50, completed June 2026), U.S. Geological Survey waterfowl and sea duck surveys in Hayward, California (two calls totaling $28,658.10, completed March 2026), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration marine wildlife surveys in Oxnard ($53,000, completed September 2026), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management marine wildlife surveys ($73,278, completed February 2026), and National Park Service Channel Islands operations ($11,900 and subordinate smaller calls through 2025). Naval Sea Systems Command has been the most frequent ordering activity, with calls supporting Close-In Weapon System exercises, DDG-series ship testing, and general Navy testing operations across 2023–2026.
