The contractor must have prior experience in providing blade-hour aviation support for military static-line and military free-fall missions. The incumbent’s subcontractor has confirmed availability and the ability to meet all stated technical and scheduling requirements for the required mission dates.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award W9124723D0011, awarded to WIN Win Aviation for $144,550 (04/07/23–04/04/26), where the contractor provided blade-hour aviation services in support of ABNSOTD operations, including scheduled exercise support and related weather cancellation activities. The described work for the current sole-source requirement—providing all-inclusive flight services using a CASA 212 or equivalent aircraft with pilots, maintenance, and equipment to conduct static line and military free-fall parachute operations—appears to be a continuation of the same ABNSOTD blade-hour aviation support function at Fort Bragg.
