- Description
- The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking information from potential offerors interested in and capable of leasing an aircraft at the San Angelo Regional Airport for use by pilots assigned to the UAS JPO. The aircraft will be available at a minimum of 50 flight hours per pilot per year. In order to maintain proficiency/currency in a non-Coast Guard aircraft this contract is needed. The contract will provide a single engine aircraft rental. This includes all costs associated with the rental to include but not limited to fuel, delivery, and pick up of aircraft.

The aircraft will need to be available with at least 24 hours notice. In certain cases the aircraft might be down for maintenance.

None of the functions by the CFI are considered inherently governmental. The planned acquisition strategy is to solicit this requirement in accordance with FAR parts 12 and 13.5. The Government anticipates awarding a firm fixed-price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a base period of one (1) year with four (4) Option Periods of one (1) year each for a total duration of five (5) years.
