DEPARTMENT OF STATE WORLDWIDE AVIATION SUPPORT SERVICES

The U.S. Department of State, through its Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, specifically the Office of Aviation and Cross Border Programs Aviation Division known as the Air Wing, is conducting market research to identify qualified contractors capable of delivering comprehensive worldwide aviation support services. This effort is being formalized under the solicitation number 19AQMM26N0198, which is categorized as a presolicitation and does not constitute a binding commitment or a request for proposals. The purpose of this Request for Information is to gather industry input to inform the development of a future Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract, allowing the Department to shape its requirements based on market capabilities. Responses are being collected through a designated online form and are intended solely to support acquisition planning, with no expectation of immediate procurement. Responses are due by May 14, 2026, and the posting was made public on May 19, 2026, with performance expected to be global in scope. There is no set-aside designated for small or disadvantaged businesses, and the NAICS code 488190 reflects the classification for other support activities for air transportation. The primary point of contact for inquiries is the email airwingacr@state.gov, and the issuing office is located in Washington, D.C. All participants are advised that future acquisition notices related to this requirement will be communicated through the same platform, ensuring transparency as the procurement process advances.
