About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market research on procuring a long-range business jet, specifically a Gulfstream G550, G650ER, G700, or equivalent aircraft for operational airlift and executive travel missions. The agency seeks comprehensive information from qualified vendors regarding aircraft purchase or lease-to-own options, with a focus on understanding cost structures, lease terms, service inclusions, and aircraft availability. Key contract requirements include an aircraft with a minimum 7000nm demonstrated range, capability to depart from a 6200-foot airfield, redundant communications systems, and a cruise speed of .83 mach or higher. Vendors must submit detailed responses addressing cost information, lease-to-own terms, included services, and aircraft availability in a PDF format not exceeding 10 pages. The submission deadline for this RFI is April 29, 2025, with responses to be sent to Contracting Officer Melissa Golicz at mgolicz@fbi.gov.
This pre-solicitation notice does not include any specific set-aside designations and is not currently tied to an incumbent contractor. While no precise award value is specified, the procurement involves a high-value aircraft with significant operational requirements. The FBI is interested in both new and used aircraft, with a preference for newer models with lower flight times and complete maintenance documentation. The agency is exploring both direct purchase and lease-to-own arrangements, with potential lease duration options of 5, 10, or 15 years. Vendors are expected to provide detailed information on pricing, including total purchase costs, lease payment structures, interest rates, and potential buyout provisions. The RFI emphasizes that this is purely an information-gathering exercise and does not constitute a formal solicitation or procurement commitment, allowing the FBI to comprehensively assess market capabilities before initiating a formal procurement process.
