INL Airwing Contract Extension

Added: Jun 27, 2017 11:33 am The Office of Acquisition Management is conducting this acquisition to extend the U.S. Department of State Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Office of Aviation (INL/A) Worldwide Aviation Support Services Contract for a period of six months with a 6 month option. The estimated cost for 12 months is $276,000,000.

INL/A has solicited offerors for its worldwide aviation support services requirements under solicitation number SAQMMA14R0319. However, due to agency reviews, GAO and small business protests the awards have been delayed. The completion date of the existing Aviation Support Services Contract SAQMPD05C1103 is October 31, 2017. Consequently, an extension to the existing contract will be necessary for the continuation of the SAQMPD05C1103 to ensure there is no break in services pending the award of SAQMMA14R0319.

INL/A provides aviation support for the eradication and interdiction of illicit drugs, training of contractor and host nation personnel, movement of personnel and equipment, reconnaissance, personnel recovery (PR), medical evacuation, security of personnel and equipment, and ferrying of aircraft.

Operational missions may include but are not limited to: aerial eradication, manual eradication support, interdiction support, air assault, border security, external load, forward resupply, aerial transportation of personnel and cargo, Search and Rescue (SAR), SAR/MEDEVAC, disabled aircraft recovery, armed helicopter escort, maintenance test flights, aerial reconnaissance, surveillance and verification. Applicable missions are performed by contractor personnel at CONUS and OCONUS.
