DESC: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The RFQ is issued under simplified acquisition procedures (FAR 13), test program, unrestricted. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular 97-20. This procurement is for Monday through Friday commercial air transportation services from/to Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island (NI) CA and San Clemente Island (SCI) CA. Occasional missions may be ordered to locations within 150 miles of North Island. Flights will be scheduled by Mr. Steve Sweeney, the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), or Ensign Vic Roman, USN Air Operations. The carrier will move passengers and light baggage (190 lbs. total average weight) utilizing contractor provided aircraft operating under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 135 or 121, that are IFR equipped, multi-engine, and turbine powered. Airlift must be capable of moving a minimum of 110 passengers and personal baggage from NAS NI to SCI within 4.5 hours. Daily flying will not cease after the minimum number of passengers are moved.
