USSS Air Transport to Northern Iceland June 2026

The U.S. Secret Service requires air transportation for a VIP visit to Akureyri in northern Iceland in June 2026, with the mission centered on ensuring comprehensive, close-protection security for high-profile visitors. The contracted aircraft must accommodate a minimum of twelve passengers and be meticulously scheduled to align precisely with the protectee’s arrival timeline, leaving no gap in security coverage. The operation demands exceptional coordination due to an extremely narrow operational window, necessitating a reliable, on-call air asset ready to respond at a moment’s notice. This requirement stems from the critical nature of the visit and the necessity to maintain uninterrupted protective surveillance throughout transit and on the ground in Iceland. The solicitation, identified as PR16091308 and posted on August 3, 2026, is managed by the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik under the Department of State, with performance occurring in the Norðurland Eystra region. The contract falls under NAICS code 481219, indicating air transportation services for charter operations. The primary point of contact for inquiries is the Reykjavik Contracting Officer, reachable via email and phone through the embassy’s Washington, D.C.-based office, with the official procurement portal accessible through the SAM.gov URL provided. The urgency and specificity of this requirement underscore the non-negotiable standards for security, logistics, and timing essential to safeguarding the VVIP delegation in a remote and logistically challenging location.
