PSC Code V221-P (Transportation/Travel/Relocation- Travel/Lodging/Recruitment: Passenger Air Charter) encompasses a broad range of aviation services involving passenger air charter operations. These services include specialized flight operations such as wildlife surveys, fire management, search and rescue, resource monitoring, personnel transportation, and scientific research support. The air charter services typically involve fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters operated by private contractors for various federal government agencies. The federal contract awards under this PSC code reveal a diverse range of helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft services, predominantly supporting the Department of the Interior's bureaus including the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Geological Survey. Contract values range from $2,585 to $1,150,000, with performance periods typically spanning several months to a year. Many awards are made to small businesses, woman-owned, veteran-owned, and minority-owned companies such as Volcano Helicopters, 40-Mile Air, Alpine Air Alaska, and Helicopter Express LLC. Common locations of performance include Alaska, Hawaii, and the western United States, with missions involving wildlife tracking, scientific research, fire management, and resource monitoring. Recent federal contract opportunities in this PSC category include solicitations for exclusive use helicopter services supporting the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These opportunities seek aviation services for missions including invasive mammal surveying, fire suppression, smokejumper support, and scientific research. Performance locations span multiple states including Alaska, Texas, California, Minnesota, and Oregon. The opportunities consistently emphasize small business set-asides, specialized aircraft capabilities, and complex mission requirements involving environmental monitoring, resource management, and emergency response operations.
