The contract opportunity has no specific set-aside designation and will be competed on a full and open basis. The place of performance is Bethel, Alaska, with transportation services to various western Alaska villages. While specific incumbent contractors are not mentioned, the BPA will cover transportation services for up to four personnel per trip, utilizing either fixed-wing or rotary aircraft or watercraft. The initial performance period spans from July 2025 to June 2029, with potential trips including dates in July and August 2025. Although a precise award value is not specified, the pricing attachment indicates a not-to-exceed limit of $30,000 per service period, with labor rates to be negotiated. The contract falls under NAICS code 488190 for Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, and contractors will be responsible for round-trip services and on-site village support.
