Fixed Base Operator Support

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on January 28, 2026, for Fixed Base Operator Support services. This special notice indicates SOCOM's intention to award a firm-fixed-price, single source contract to OMNI Logistics, INC for arctic equipment leasing and logistical support. The notice falls under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1 and is categorized under NAICS code 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). The solicitation number is H9229526QE005, and the contracting officer is Ashton G. Smith. This represents a competitive opportunity window before a sole source award is finalized, allowing other qualified contractors to demonstrate their capabilities.

The primary objective is to secure comprehensive logistical support for arctic training operations, specifically a hangar capable of simultaneously housing three MH-47 Chinook helicopters, along with ancillary services including ground handling, fueling, ramp space, heating, towing, planning, lighting, crane, and aircraft tug services. Interested contractors must submit detailed capability statements by February 2, 2026, at 0900 Mountain Standard Time to ashton.g.smith.mil@socom.mil. Capability statements must demonstrate full equipment availability for all line items, a plan to meet a 5-hour maintenance and replacement requirement, and a comprehensive logistical plan for multi-location deliveries. There are no specific set-asides restricting eligibility; however, contractors must provide clear evidence of existing inventory, logistical infrastructure, and immediate maintenance capability to support arctic operations. The Government reserves the right to conduct a competitive procurement based on the quality and responsiveness of submitted capability statements.
