Opportunity

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 11th Contracting Squadron, is seeking specialized transportation services for the United States Air Force Band under solicitation number FA706026R0003. This requirement involves the movement of 10 to 15 pallets of cargo, including personal luggage, musical instruments, and fragile audio or production equipment, to Oslo, Norway. The selected contractor must provide secure pickup, palletization, climate-controlled transport for temperature-sensitive items, white-glove handling, and time-definite delivery. The scope includes protecting high-value equipment from environmental and physical damage and providing appropriate insurance coverage.

The performance of these services is centered at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., with delivery to Norway. This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 481112 for Scheduled Freight Air Transportation and PSC V111 for Transportation/Travel/Relocation- Transportation: Air Freight. While currently focused on the Norway movement, the requirement may result in recurring service needs for both CONUS and OCONUS locations.

The response deadline for this solicitation is May 26, 2026. The administrative record includes four attachments, consisting of the solicitation document, a performance work statement for the Norway Tattoo shipping, and two sets of questions and answers. Christopher Finik serves as the primary point of contact for this notice, which was originally published on May 7, 2026, and last updated on May 19, 2026.
