About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a single award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Kenn Borek Air LTD (KBA), a for-profit organization, with a potential value of $43.5 million over 6 years. Under this contract, KBA will provide exclusive use fixed wing flight services to transport personnel and cargo in support of scientific research activities in Antarctica and the Arctic. The contracted services include utilizing light and medium utility aircraft to provide access to remote polar field locations for the U.S. Antarctic Program and NSF's Arctic Program.

The NSF has issued multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to KBA under this IDC, with a total cumulative value of over $17 million to date. The delivery orders require KBA to provide dedicated transportation services such as operating fixed wing aircraft to carry personnel, cargo, and fuel between research stations and field camps in Antarctica and Greenland.
