Text version
‐The Fly America Act (49 USC 40018) as implemented in FAR 52.247‐63 (Preference for U.S.‐Flag Air Carriers) requires that all Federal agencies and Government contractors and subcontractors use U.S.‐flag air carriers for U.S. Government‐financed air transportation of passengers or cargo. Will the Government consider adding the requirement for a US Flag carrier to the evaluation criteria in order to be in compliance with this law?
A ‐ Passengers are limited to Afghans only ‐ IAW PWS 3.2.2 ‐ Eligible passengers include the Afghanistan National Army (ANA), Afghanistan National Police (ANP) and all subordinate elements, Afghanistan Border Police (ABP) personnel, Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) officials, personnel suffering from medical emergencies in which life, limb or eyesight may be lost, and personnel needing evacuation due to manmade or natural disasters.
No Federal Employees, dependents, contractors, grantees, are intended passengers.
The Government will not be revising the evaluation criteria.
‐If any US DOD Passengers or Cargo are to be carried on these flights, the selected carrier will need to be CARB (Commercial Air Review Board) approved. Will any US DOD passengers or cargo be carried on these missions?
No – The Passengers and Cargo will be as identified in the PWS and clarified further in the previous question.

Does the Government intend for the Contractor to provide dual ship operations (organic CSAR) or will the Government instead provide CSAR in the event of a downed aircraft?
