North Warning System (NWS) Fixed-Wing Airlift/Transportation ServicesThe U.S. Air Force is preparing to solicit nonpersonal services for fixed-wing airlift support to sustain the North Warning System, a critical component of NORAD and homeland defense operations in the Canadian Arctic. This requirement mandates the contractor to provide all personnel, equipment, and supervision necessary to transport cargo weighing up to 6,000 pounds and personnel to remote, unimproved radar sites under extreme environmental conditions. The contract is governed by the North America Air Defense Modernization Memorandum of Understanding, which requires the U.S. to supply sixty percent of total program support through material and services. The acquisition will be conducted as a full and open competition with no set-aside for small businesses since all performance will occur outside the United States, and will result in a single Firm Fixed Price contract with Cost Reimbursable line items, selected using best value procedures. The anticipated solicitation release is July 21, 2026, with proposals due by August 21, 2026, and a planned award date of January 18, 2027, covering a base period of one year with four one-year options. Funds are not currently available, and no award will be made until appropriation occurs; the government reserves the right to cancel the acquisition without obligation to reimburse offerors. All communications, including solicitation documents, amendments, and updates, will be posted exclusively via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment and SAM.gov, and offerors are responsible for continuous monitoring of these platforms. The North American Industry Classification System code is 481211 for nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation. Questions and comments must be submitted via the official Question-Comment Matrix spreadsheet by July 8, 2026, and all correspondence must be directed solely to the listed Contracting Officer and Contract Managers; any outreach to other government personnel is strictly prohibited.
