40-Mile Air, Ltd. specializes in mission-critical aerial support operations across Alaska’s most remote and rugged terrain, delivering on-demand fixed-wing and helicopter charter services for federal resource management and scientific field operations. Their core capabilities include precision aerial transport for wildlife monitoring, cultural resource surveys, moose capture missions, and radiotracking deployments, often in austere environments with minimal infrastructure. The company operates with deep expertise in low-visibility flight operations, high-altitude navigation, and rapid-response logistics tailored to the unique challenges of Arctic and subarctic regions. Their technical proficiency extends to coordinating complex aerial missions with federal biologists and field teams, ensuring safe, timely access to isolated sites while maintaining strict operational discipline in volatile weather conditions. The contractor maintains a longstanding and consistent relationship with the Department of the Interior, primarily supporting the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in executing ecological research, wildlife management, and heritage preservation missions. These engagements require seamless integration with field personnel, real-time mission adjustments, and adherence to sensitive environmental protocols, reflecting a trusted, mission-aligned partnership built over years of reliable service. Operating under NAICS 481211, 40-Mile Air, Ltd. is positioned as a niche provider of nonscheduled aerial services critical to federal land and wildlife management in Alaska. Their market focus is squarely on supporting scientific and conservation operations that demand flexible, mission-specific aviation solutions rather than routine passenger transport. This vertical specialization distinguishes them from general aviation contractors. As a small, Alaska-based entity with no federal certifications, 40-Mile Air, Ltd. leverages deep local knowledge, operational agility, and sustained presence in Tok, Alaska, to serve as an indispensable aerial logistics partner for federal agencies operating in the state’s most inaccessible regions. Their business model is defined by responsiveness, regional expertise, and unwavering commitment to mission success in extreme conditions.

Commercial Passenger Airlift Service (121/135)
Solicitation # TRANSCOM27C001SUB
USTRANSCOM is conducting market research via Request for Information TRANSCOM27C001 to identify CARB-approved commercial passenger airlift carriers operating under FAA Part 121 or Part 135. The objective is to establish turnkey transportation services for passengers, baggage, Government-furnished weapons, and Hazard Class 1.4S ammunition across recurring Pacific routes. Primary operations include two round trips per month from Honolulu, HI (PHNL) to Wake Island Airfield (PWAK) for up to 39 passengers, and two round trips per month from Honolulu to Kwajalein Atoll (PKWA) for up to 12 passengers. A combined routing option (PHNL-PWAK-PKWA-PHNL) is also being evaluated for operational and fuel efficiency. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all aircraft, flight and cabin crews, maintenance, dispatch, and operational support. Because ground support equipment is strictly limited at PWAK and PKWA, carriers must demonstrate self-sufficiency for turnaround operations. Eligible respondents include businesses of all sizes under NAICS codes 481111 and 481211, with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees. Interested vendors must submit a response not exceeding 12 pages to the primary point of contact, Brenda Marshall, by 16:00 Central Time on November 13, 2026. This is a sources-sought effort for market research purposes and does not constitute a formal request for proposal or a commitment to award a contract.
