About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

NASA Ames Research Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Alci Aviation LTD. for commercial aviation services supporting the Snow4Flow Earth Venture Suborbital-4 airborne science mission, with a $9 million ceiling and an award date of September 24, 2026. The contract is sole-source; market research determined that Alci Aviation is the only commercial operator offering a Basler BT-67 aircraft in suitable science configuration for remote Arctic operations.

Performance occurs across Northern Hemisphere regions including Alaska, the Yukon Territory, Svalbard, Greenland, and the Canadian High Arctic, with administrative oversight at Ames Research Center, California. The requirement encompasses provision, modification, and operation of a Basler BT-67 in science configuration, including aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance services; engineering support for Snow4Flow instrument integration; and operational support for three planned Arctic campaigns spanning 2027 through 2029.

The period of performance extends from February 23, 2027 through September 23, 2030, with a six-month extension option available. The contract structure features task orders issued at pre-priced annual catalog rates under firm-fixed-price terms. The first task order covers instrument integration and the 2027 Alaska Arctic campaign, running February 23 through March 2, 2027. Authority for sole-source procurement derives from 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), implemented under FAR 6.103-1 (Only One Responsible Source).
