Hanger and Office Rental

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Indianapolis Aviation Partners, LLC for hangar and office rental services. The procurement falls under NAICS code 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and PSC code X1BZ (Lease/Rental Of Other Airfield Structures). The DEA is pursuing this acquisition as a sole source based on the determination that only one source is reasonably available to meet their requirements. The contract will be structured as a firm-fixed price purchase order with a performance period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This notice serves as a market research tool rather than a formal request for proposals.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to determine whether the DEA should open this requirement to competitive bidding or proceed with the planned sole source award. The supporting documentation indicates the requirement is for secure hangar space with 24-hour access to facilities and runway, which the current vendor has been providing for several years. Interested contractors must submit capability statements electronically to the designated contracting officer by August 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST. Any source capable of providing hangar and office rental services may respond, though the government's market research suggests that alternative vendors have been unable to meet the mission's specific security and access requirements. The government retains sole discretion in deciding whether to proceed competitively based on responses received, and this notice explicitly states it is not a request for proposals but rather an opportunity for potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities.
