Chase Plane Service
Solicitation # 26-P-0000-039061
The government is seeking information from potential sources to support a future requirement for chase aircraft services in support of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operations at March Air Reserve Base (KRIV) in California. This sources sought notice is for market research only and does not constitute a commitment to award a contract or issue a solicitation. The anticipated procurement will be a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 481219 with a $25 million size standard, and the government is particularly interested in small businesses including HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, VOSB, and other small business concerns. The contractor must provide a fully mission-capable aircraft capable of sustaining 150 knots true airspeed at or below 12,000 feet, equipped with dual-frequency radios for simultaneous communication with the RPA and Air Traffic Control, and must operate with beacon and strobe lights during all operations. The aircraft must be fully insured, with the contractor assuming sole liability for any damage to the aircraft or personnel, absent government negligence. The chase aircraft must accompany the RPA from takeoff at KRIV through traffic pattern operations and transit to restricted airspaces R-2515 or R-2503, remain on standby after drop-off, and return to escort the RPA back for recovery, rejoining the aircraft prior to handover and maintaining visual contact until the RPA completes a full-stop landing at KRIV. Visual responsibility is transferred to a ground observer only once the RPA enters the KRIV traffic pattern. Crew requirements include one qualified pilot and one qualified observer per mission, with two pilots required when FAA oxygen regulations apply. All personnel must be pre-approved and submitted with resumes; substitutions require written authorization. Pilots must hold FAA Class 2 or military equivalent medical certificates, comply with 14 CFR 61.56 and 61.57 for flight reviews and recent experience, and adhere to 14 CFR 91.17 regarding alcohol and drug use. Observers must have comprehensive FAA regulatory knowledge, cannot serve dual roles, and must also meet medical and substance use standards. Respondents must submit a capability statement with company name, UEI, CAGE code, socio-economic status, and summaries of relevant projects, along with a completed response form. All submissions are due by 1:00 PM local time on August 27, 2026, via email only to the designated point

Aerial Dispersal of Sterilized Screwworm FliesThe contract entails the fixed-wing aerial release of sterile New World Screwworm flies across southern Texas using precisely calibrated GPS-guided dispersal patterns that are updated on a weekly basis by APHIS to ensure targeted and dynamic coverage. Operations must adapt in real time to emerging outbreak zones, requiring continuous coordination and responsive flight planning to maximize the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique in suppressing wild screwworm populations. The work is focused on a specific geographic area with Edinburg identified as the place of performance, and all activities must align with USDA's biological pest control protocols to prevent reinfestation and protect livestock health. This is a subcontract under NAICS code 481219, classified as an air transportation service, and is administered by the Department of Agriculture through its Mrpbs Minneapolis Mn office. The solicitation was posted in June 2026, indicating the commencement of operations is expected to follow shortly thereafter. While no specific set-aside status or point of contact details are provided, the nature of the work demands specialized aviation capabilities, strict biosecurity measures, and real-time data integration to execute the aerial releases safely and with scientific precision. All flight operations must support the broader goal of eradicating screwworm infestations in the region through sustained and adaptive sterile fly deployment.

Landsat 10 Spacecraft
Solicitation # 80GSFC26R0015
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center is soliciting proposals for the acquisition of the Landsat 10 Spacecraft under RFP 80GSFC26R0015, which supersedes the previous draft issued in May 2026. The contract seeks a spacecraft capable of delivering multi-spectral imagery across visible to shortwave-infrared and thermal infrared bands to support long-term monitoring of Earth’s land surfaces and coastal regions, with a mission objective to operate continuously for at least five years. The spacecraft will be placed in a 653-kilometer sun-synchronous low-Earth orbit and equipped with the Landsat Instrument Suite, providing 26 spectral bands with a ground sampling distance between 10 and 60 meters and a 164-kilometer swath width. NASA will provide the space and launch services segments, while USGS will manage the ground system and mission operations. The contractor is required to deliver detailed analytical models, including 3D CAD, thermal, structural, dynamic, and attitude control subsystem models, as well as comply with stringent environmental standards covering radiation, space charging, magnetics, atomic oxygen, and micrometeoroid/orbital debris exposure, with microcircuit requirements aligned to MIL-STD-883. Key deliverables include the spacecraft and related models to be submitted to the Landsat 10 Project Office, alongside adherence to interface requirements defined in multiple attachments for spacecraft-to-ground, payload-to-launch, and space environmental systems. The response deadline has been extended to August 31, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST, and the solicitation includes updated documentation such as the Spacecraft Contractor Standards, a revised Master Equipment List, and a DPAS rating of DO-C9 on the SF-1449 form. Government-furnished equipment, including flight umbilical connectors, launch services support, and propellant, must be coordinated with schedule milestones ranging from L-18 months to L-1 month, with payload processing facilities provided by the government from L-60 days through L+7 days. No cost or pricing data, evaluation factors, or contract value estimates are specified in the release.
