Solicitation # HTC71126RE147

The United States Transportation Command is soliciting proposals for rotary-wing aviation support services in Papua New Guinea to assist the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in conducting remote recovery missions.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by August 14, 2026, in four volumes covering business compliance, technical capability, past performance, and pricing, with strict formatting rules including a 30-page limit for the technical volume and mandatory use of PDF for all volumes except the pricing table, which must be submitted as an editable Excel file. The solicitation number is HTC71126RE147, issued under NAICS code 481211 with no small business set-aside, and proposals must include completed attachments detailing aircraft specifications, compliance checklists, technical capabilities, and past performance records. The contract is structured as a Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (FFP IDIQ) with a base period from July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2028, and four one-year options plus a six-month extension up to December 2032.
