Scheduled Air Liner Support Services

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Response Directorate is preparing to procure scheduled air liner support services and issued a Sources Sought Notice due July 17, 2026, to identify industry capability.

FEMA seeks direct, non-stop passenger flights capable of transporting up to 350 passengers from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii to Won Pat International Airport in Guam and Pago Pago International Airport in American Samoa. Flights will transport designated federal responders, their luggage, and support canines for post-disaster response operations to Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.

Aircraft must be registered in the United States with an "N" number tail registration; foreign-flagged aircraft are not authorized. Flights must depart as soon as possible following typhoons or severe weather events, with on-time departure being critical. Contractors must provide sufficient qualified cockpit crew, furnish aircraft capable of completing each journey without scheduled maintenance (except in-route and turnaround service), and provide substitute aircraft and crew within four hours if the original flight cannot depart due to mechanical or operational issues. All operations must comply with Federal Aviation Regulations and International Air Transport Association standards.

Responses to the Sources Sought Notice must be submitted by Friday, July 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET to Contracting Officer Kimberly Coakley at Kimberly.Coakley@fema.dhs.gov. Respondents must include company information, UEI number, CAGE Code, Tax Identification Number, SAM registration status, DCAA-adequate accounting system statement, property management system statement, NAICS code, business size designation, and socio-economic status if applicable. Responses should not exceed 10 pages in Microsoft Word or searchable PDF format. This is market research only and does not constitute a commitment to contract.
