Notice of Request For Information (RFI) - GSA Commercial Helicopter Market Research

The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service is seeking input from helicopter OEMs, dealers, and distributors to evaluate creating a long‑term Special Item Number (SIN) for commercially available rotary‑wing aircraft under the Multiple Award Schedule. This RFI aims to gather industry feedback on scope, eligibility, pricing, delivery, and reporting practices before drafting a solicitation. The effort will support a variety of federal, state, and local missions such as law enforcement, border security, EMS, search and rescue, and firefighting. • GSA intends to transition helicopters from a temporary Security and Protection SIN to a dedicated, long‑term SIN. • The RFI is purely informational; GSA will not issue formal responses to comments. • Responses must be submitted by October 14, 2026. • Fixed‑wing aircraft are explicitly excluded from this effort.
