About this file

This is a Questions and Answers Matrix for federal contract opportunity FA489026R0015 - North Warning System (NWS) Rotary Airlift Services. The document addresses three questions posed by offerors regarding aircraft operational and performance requirements.

The Government confirms that all Main Rotary Airlift aircraft require year-round Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capability, Night Vision Goggle (NVG) capability, and consequently two pilots to perform these operations. Regarding aircraft range and capacity specifications, the Government clarified that the required minimum nonstop range for Rotary Wing (RW) airlift is 150 nautical miles (NM) for all zones, replacing the previously stated 350 NM nonstop range requirement. The Government established 150 NM as the minimum threshold while permitting offerors to propose aircraft with greater mileage and cargo capacity to address NWS Rotary Airlift requirements.

Can the Government confirm what the required range and capacity will be in the final RFP PWS?

The Government confirms that the required minimum distance for Rotary Wing (RW) airlift is 150 NM nonstop for all zones. This removes the previous requirement for aircraft capable of a 350 NM range.
