About this opportunity

NASA Ames Research Center has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a sole-source contract with Dynamic Aviation to provide commercial aviation services supporting NASA Airborne Science. The contract (80ARC025DA006) is a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) valued at $13.5 million, consisting of a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. Following a market research process that included a Request for Information (RFI) from July 16-30, 2024, NASA determined that Dynamic Aviation was the only vendor capable of meeting their specialized aircraft requirements, which include modified Beechcraft King Air B-200 and A-90 aircraft with specific configurations such as nadir ports, payload power systems, and equipment racks compatible with NASA scientific instruments like MASTER, LVIS, G-Light, and AVIRIS-NG. Although three companies responded to the RFI, only Dynamic Aviation demonstrated the necessary capabilities, including a fleet of approximately 80 operational aircraft and a network of 145 repair stations. The contract was awarded on January 27, 2025, with Dynamic Aviation selected as the sole source provider for these critical aviation services.
