INL/A is soliciting offerors for its worldwide aviation support services requirements under solicitation number SAQMMA14R0319. However, changes to the solicitation approach delayed the process such that award will not be made by October 31, 2014, which is the completion date of the current Aviation Support Services Contract SAQMPD05C1103. Consequently, Contract SAQMPD05C1103 needs to be extended for six months to ensure there is no break in services pending the award of SAQMMA14R0319.
