The United States Secret Service (USSS) is seeking input from industry regarding capabilities, best practices, and innovative approaches for fixed-wing aviation support to enhance operational effectiveness, mission readiness, and rapid deployment capabilities. The USSS is evaluating the establishment of a dedicated aviation capability of fixed-wing assets to minimize travel time, reduce logistical burdens, and enhance operational effectiveness. The requirement is intended to provide a scalable solution capable of supporting increased demand during periods of heavy operational tempo.
• The USSS is seeking aviation support solutions to improve mission readiness, agility, and operational security.
• The solutions should enable secure operational briefings en route, increase access to smaller and remote airports, and support rapid deployment for short-notice, disaster, and critical incident response.
• The aviation assets should be capable of supporting continuity of operations and must offer flexible options such as charter, lease, or contractor-owned and operated aircraft for efficient movement of personnel, special teams, and light equipment or personal luggage.
• The USSS is seeking input on fleet and capabilities, operations and logistics, security and compliance, regulatory and permissions, contracting and experience, and financial management, pricing, and value.
