About this opportunity
The Department of the Army National Guard has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to the Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport Authority for airport rental, logistics, and support services. The contract will support Northern Strike Exercises from fiscal years 2025 through 2029, with an estimated value of $109,500. The award is being made under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106(b)(3)(i) for simplified acquisition procedures. The services will include providing airport facilities, airfield access, and administrative support for various military functions including Air Traffic Control, Contingency Response Group, Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting, and Special Operations Forces. The contract structure includes a one-month base period followed by four one-month option periods.
The primary purpose of this sole source award is to secure critical infrastructure support for the Northern Strike joint readiness exercises, which train Army and Air National Guard personnel along with international partners in mobility operations. The Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport was selected as the only viable option within the required 60-mile radius of the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center in Northern Michigan. The 2,000-acre public use airport offers the necessary runway, taxiway, and infrastructure capabilities to support military aircraft operations including landing, refueling, resupply, and command and control functions. Market research confirmed no other airports in the operational area could meet the exercise requirements. Interested parties have until July 5, 2025, to respond to this notice, though the government has indicated it will continue market research for future exercises to promote greater competition in different scenarios.

Unique Characteristics that limit availability to only one source:
Northern Strike is the Army and Air National Guard Joint Readiness Exercise with helps train and improve capabilities for the United States and its international parters mobility operations skills. Training objectives for Northern Strike requires the use of a commercially available airfield within 60 miles of the Alpena CRTC located in Northern Michigan. The Oscoda-Wurtsmith Airport is situated approximately 47 miles south of the Alpena CRTC, and is a 2000 acre public use airport, is primarily a cargo and light general aviation airport, with no scheduled passenger services, has the available space, infrastructure, runway, and taxiway requirements to support the exercise and is the only responsible source to meet the Northern Strike requirement. Market research indicated that there is no other airport within the area of operation for Northern Strike that has the facilities to meet the needs of the exercise. Since the requirement includes leasing/rental of airfield property for exercise use, it cannot be met from a required source. Market research will continue for future Northern Strike exercises to promote competition. Different scenarios may require the use of different resources which will allow for greater competition.
