About this opportunity
U.S. Transportation Command has awarded a sole-source contract extension to Columbia Helicopters, Inc. under the Worldwide Airlift Services Program 135 (WASP-135) multiple-award IDIQ contract for continued airlift services in the Philippines, effective 28 August 2026 through 27 February 2027.
The extension adds FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, to Task Order HTC71123FC027. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) on the basis of highly specialized services and the need to avoid unacceptable delays during transition to a follow-on General Services Administration contract. Columbia Helicopters is the incumbent contractor already positioned in-country with necessary personnel and aircraft. The contracting officer determined anticipated costs are fair and reasonable, with the contractor holding hourly rates steady at originally negotiated levels with no rate increases applied.
The modification structures the extension as two months of base performance plus four one-month option periods. Services required include 24 hours per day, 7 days per week dedicated rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, medical attendants, and personnel to perform airlift services (passenger, cargo, or combination), Casualty Evacuation, Personnel Recovery, and cargo services to support unscheduled missions. Work supports United States Indo-Pacific Command and Special Operations Command, Pacific with place of performance in the Philippines. The J&A notes the Option to Extend Services clause was inadvertently omitted from the initial task order award despite being priced and evaluated during competition; this modification corrects that contract writing oversight.
