The award will be a 5‑year ordering period (Mar 1 2027 – Feb 29 2032) with the possibility of a six‑month extension. Only qualified small businesses (≤ 1,500 employees) that are women‑owned (WOSB/EDWOSB) may submit. Contractors must furnish helicopters (turbine or small reciprocating‑engine), pilots, mechanics, and optionally a fuel‑servicing vehicle, all meeting FAA Part 135, Part 133, and Part 137 certifications, plus an FAA‑approved Safety Management System by May 28 2027. Pricing will be based on daily‑availability and hourly flight rates, with additional reimbursable items (fuel, per‑diem, mileage, etc.).
