The United States Transportation Command is soliciting proposals for rotary-wing aviation support services in Papua New Guinea to support the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. This unrestricted, Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract requires the provision of up to three helicopters simultaneously to support up to three remote recovery missions per year, with each mission lasting between 14 and 90 days. Required services include passenger and cargo transport, sling load operations, mission planning, and 24/7 on-call MEDEVAC capabilities. Proposed aircraft, such as the AS350, BK 117, Bell 212, or similar models, must meet specific performance standards and the contractor must maintain continuous DoD Commercial Airlift Review Board approval and a valid Air Operator Certificate from the Papua New Guinea Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Proposals must be submitted in four separate volumes covering business compliance, technical capability, past performance, and price by November 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. A critical requirement for award is the formal acknowledgment of Amendments 0001 and 0002, as well as compliance with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 1. The government will utilize a best-value tradeoff for award, where technical capability and business compliance must be rated as acceptable, and past performance is weighted more heavily than price.
