About this opportunity
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a sole source justification for an air charter contract to support disaster recovery operations following Typhoon Halong in Alaska under Presidentially Declared Disaster DR-4893-AK. The contract procures passenger air transportation services using a hub-and-spoke operational model, with Bethel, Alaska serving as the primary hub and connecting to designated villages across western Alaska boroughs to transport responders conducting Individual Assistance registration and housing inspections. The sole source justification was approved based on urgent operational requirements and the selected vendor's unique capability to immediately meet FEMA's needs, including the ability to operate under winter conditions with limited daylight, stage operations from Bethel, deploy suitable aircraft such as Cessnas and King Air planes, and maintain established remote Alaska operations experience. The Time-and-Materials contract was awarded to an undisclosed vendor on November 21, 2025, with the contract period running from November 18, 2025, through January 16, 2026, and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold elevated to $1 million to support disaster response efforts. Compensation will be based on pre-negotiated hourly rates with actual hour billing and 24-hour cancellation provisions, with price reasonableness validated through market research, historical purchase comparisons, and an Independent Government Cost Estimate.
