Arctic Fixed-Wing Airlift Operations

The contract seeks providers to deliver scheduled and on-demand fixed-wing aircraft services for transporting personnel and cargo weighing up to 6,000 pounds to remote North Warning System radar installations across the Canadian Arctic. Operations must accommodate landings on unimproved airstrips, requiring aircraft with proven capability to operate in extreme Arctic conditions with minimal infrastructure support. Services include routine logistics flights as well as emergency or urgent missions, ensuring consistent resupply and crew rotation at isolated defense sites throughout the year. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense, specifically managed by FA4890 Hq Acc Amic, with a solicitation posting date of June 22, 2026, and a response deadline of July 8, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The NAICS code 481211 applies to this air transportation service, indicating the focus on scheduled and nonscheduled air carrier activities. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the place of performance is entirely within the remote Arctic regions of Canada, demanding operators to have experience in harsh winter environments, logistical planning for isolated locations, and compliance with Canadian and U.S. defense operational standards.
