USAF Band Norway Shipment

The Department of the Air Force, 11th Contracting Sq PK, is soliciting specialized transportation services under solicitation number FA706026R0003 to support the United States Air Force Band. This requirement involves the movement of approximately 10 to 15 pallets of cargo from Bolling AFB, DC, to Oslo, Norway. The cargo consists of personal luggage, musical instruments, and fragile audio and production equipment. This procurement is classified under NAICS 481112 for Scheduled Freight Air Transportation and PSC V111 for TRANSPORTATION/TRAVEL/RELOCATION- TRANSPORTATION: AIR FREIGHT.

The designated contractor must provide secure pickup, palletization, and white-glove handling for all items. Specific requirements include climate-controlled transport for temperature-sensitive instruments, time-definite delivery, and the provision of appropriate insurance coverage to protect high-value equipment from environmental or physical damage. While this solicitation specifically addresses the Norway shipment, the Air Force indicates this may result in recurring service needs for vendors capable of providing consistent support for both CONUS and OCONUS movements.

The deadline for responses to this combined synopsis/solicitation is May 26, 2026. The government has provided four attachments, including the Performance Work Statement and a series of questions and answers regarding the requirement.
