This initiative by the Department of Homeland Security aims to bolster deportation efforts, marking a departure from the use of military or charter flights. Contractors will be responsible for providing flight operations, maintenance, and logistics for a fleet including Gulfstream 650ERs and Boeing 737-700s, operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The operations may involve remote or austere environments and support various missions, including voluntary repatriation, crisis response, and movement of officials. Companies have until July 22 to apply for these contracts, which follow the department's previous controversial aircraft purchases that drew lawmaker criticism.
