About this opportunity
The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) #TRANSCOM25C004 seeking market research for a no-cost commercial air transportation contract to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The procurement involves establishing air services between a South Florida major airport and Guantanamo Bay, where carriers would collect fares directly from passengers rather than receiving government payment. Interested carriers must be Department of Defense Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB) approved and must own and operate their own aircraft, with long-term leases acceptable. The service would provide Space A transportation for Department of Defense personnel, contract personnel, and military dependents, requiring flexible scheduling outside current Patriot Express flights. Critical dates include the RFI question deadline of July 3, 2025 at 4:00 PM CDT and the response deadline of July 8, 2025 at 12:00 PM CDT.
This opportunity has no set-aside designation and represents a new government effort with no historical data or identified incumbent contractors. The service would support approximately 6,100 personnel at the naval station, with estimated ridership of 35-70 passengers per week. No specific contract value is mentioned since this is structured as a no-cost arrangement where carriers generate revenue through passenger fares. The RFI requests detailed information including company infrastructure needs, minimum passenger volume requirements, fare estimates, and commercial market practices. This market research effort carries no guarantee of future contract award and will be used internally by USTRANSCOM to inform potential acquisition strategy for this unique transportation requirement.
