Mass Rescue Operations Fixed-Wing Aircraft Test for the Science and Technology DirectorateThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate, in collaboration with the United States Coast Guard, is seeking aircraft charter services to support testing of a prototype large-capacity, ultralightweight flotation device designed for Mass Rescue Operations at sea. This device is intended to hold up to 100 survivors out of the water during extended rescue missions far offshore, reducing risks from exposure and improving survival outcomes. The test will focus exclusively on evaluating the safe handling, transport, and deployment of the prototype from fixed-wing aircraft, with no intent to solicit development of the device itself. The aircraft must be capable of flying at altitudes between 250 and 500 feet at speeds of 90 to 110 knots and must feature a rear cargo ramp; side door deployments are explicitly excluded. Preferred aircraft include the HC-130J or HC-144. The Department is open to any location for the drop zone but prefers sites accessible to water-based recovery assets to facilitate efficient retrieval of the device post-deployment. This solicitation, issued under the number 70RSAT26RFI000022, is a sources-sought notice with a response deadline of July 10, 2026. Interested parties must respond through the SAM.gov portal, and inquiries should be directed to the designated points of contact, Jennifer K. Koons and Yao Kole. The activity is classified under NAICS code 481212 for scheduled air transportation services and is being managed by the DHS Office of Procurement Operations on behalf of the Sci Technology Acq Division in Washington, DC.

Rear Ramp-Equipped Fixed-Wing Aircraft CharterThe contract solicits a rear ramp-equipped fixed-wing aircraft, such as an HC-130J or HC-144 class aircraft, to conduct a single over-water test flight aimed at deploying a prototype maritime rescue device under controlled flight conditions. The mission requires precise execution at a specified altitude and airspeed to ensure the device functions as intended during real-world maritime rescue scenarios. The aircraft must be capable of safe and stable operation in open water environments, with the rear ramp system fully functional to enable accurate and timely release of the prototype. All operational parameters, including flight profile and environmental conditions, will be strictly defined to ensure test validity and safety. This subcontract under the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Acquisition Division is open for responses until July 10, 2026, with a NAICS code of 481212 indicating its classification within air transportation services. The requirement is scoped to a single flight event, not ongoing operations, and the place of performance and contact details are not provided in the available data. Respondents must possess the necessary aircraft certification, operational experience with similar platforms, and compliance with federal aviation and procurement regulations. The solicitation is posted on SAM.gov, and interested parties must submit responses through the designated portal prior to the deadline.
