About this opportunity

The United States Marine Corps is soliciting quotations for Aeromedical Evacuation (AME) services in support of the Marine Rotational Force - Darwin (MRF-D) 26.3 training operations in Australia. The solicitation (M6845026QM001) is being conducted as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for commercial services under FAR Part 12 procedures. Contractors must provide rotary-wing aircraft and medical personnel capable of casualty evacuation and emergency medical services with a five-minute response time and twenty-minute aircraft launch requirement. Evaluation will be based on three criteria: Technical Capability, Past Performance (both rated as Acceptable or Unacceptable), and Price Reasonableness. Quotations are due by March 2, 2026 at 4:30 PM Pacific Time, and prospective offerors must be approved by the Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB) for rotary-wing services and registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).

This acquisition is not set-aside for small business, though the RFQ document references a Women-Owned Small Business designation that conflicts with the main solicitation description. The incumbent contractor is Berry Aviation, Inc., operating under Contract No. HTC71123FC028. The resulting award will be an Indefinite-Delivery Requirements contract with a performance period from April 15, 2026 through October 15, 2026, based at Robertson Barracks in Palmerston, Australia. The contract structure includes four line items: positioning/depositioning services (minimum six events), standby alert operations (1,080 hours estimated with 18 days guaranteed), blade hours for rotary-wing operations (227 hours estimated), and fuel reimbursables (not-to-exceed 118,721 liters on a cost-no-fee basis). Aircraft must be twin-engine helicopters capable of 138+ mph with 400 km range, and medical personnel must include an ACM Level 4 Physician and ACM Level 3 Flight Nurse with specified certifications and experience requirements.
