Replacement of Cessna Aircraft Engine to Stabilize the Ministry of Interior's (MOI) Border Security Capacity

The Ministry of Interior’s Air Wing requires a replacement engine for its Cessna aircraft to sustain operational readiness for law enforcement and border security missions along Pakistan’s frontiers with Afghanistan and Iran. This procurement is essential to maintain consistent aerial surveillance and rapid response capabilities in high-risk regions where border integrity is critical to national and regional security. The effort is funded and coordinated by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs under the U.S. Department of State, reflecting a strategic partnership to bolster Pakistan’s capacity to counter transnational threats. The engine replacement will ensure uninterrupted aerial patrols, directly supporting the stability of border regions under constant pressure. The action is classified under NAICS code 541752, indicating it involves scientific and technical consulting services related to aerospace maintenance and support, which may include logistics, installation, and technical oversight. The place of performance is listed as Islamabad, where the aircraft are based and serviced, and point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons at timmonsj@state.gov, with additional support available through the Small Business Specialist Tyler Sinclair. Although no solicitation number or set-aside details have been provided, the forecast nature of this document signals upcoming procurement activity, likely to be formalized in fiscal year 2026, with opportunities for qualified contractors to engage through State Department channels.
