About this opportunity
The 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify small business vendors capable of providing airlift tickets and vertical wind tunnel services at Pope Army Airfield, with responses due by October 15, 2026. This is a total small business set-aside sources-sought notice, not a solicitation or commitment to award.
The vendor and wind tunnel facility must be located within 95 miles of Pope Air Force Base. The contractor shall provide aircraft with current annual maintenance inspections per FAR parts 43 and 91, FAA-certified pilots holding commercial and instrument ratings for operations conducted after sunset, a packing facility capable of simultaneously packing up to six ram air parachutes, drop zones with a 100-meter safety radius cleared of non-military personnel, and a maintained vertical wind tunnel. All operations must support High Altitude-Low Opening (HALO) military parachute operations conducted by the 352 Special Warfare Training Squadron in compliance with USAF Military Freefall Regulations and 14 CFR 105. Aircraft must be reserved exclusively for military operations during actual drops with no commercial customers. The contractor must respond to requests within 10 business days and comply with all OSHA standards and best workplace safety practices.
