    The General Services Administration (GSA) issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the City Pair Program, specifically for scheduled air passenger transportation services for fiscal year 2026. The RFI indicates that the data requested pertains solely to domestic city pairs within the United States, an assertion clarified amidst vendor inquiries that suggested confusion due to references made to international pairs. Key deadlines for data gathering relate to the week of April 27, 2025, through May 3, 2025, although vendors may propose alternative date ranges for information collection. The document emphasizes the specifications for data output, requesting details about the number of nonstop flights and single-connect options available during the specified timeframe. The overarching purpose is to collect and assess capabilities from vendors to inform future solicitations for air travel services, demonstrating the government’s need for precise and actionable data on domestic air travel capacities. This process is integral to the government’s procurement strategy, ensuring compliance and efficiency in service provision.

This RFI is strictly for information gathering and does not represent a solicitation for services. GSA aims to streamline its collection of airline schedule data for the week of April 27, 2025, to May 3, 2025, focusing on elements such as the number and type of flights available for government travelers. Specifically, GSA seeks detailed data about weekly inbound and outbound nonstop and connecting flights for specific city pairs. The document outlines definitions and restrictions regarding flight classifications and connectivity, emphasizing accurate data submission by October 15, 2024. The RFI also includes a timeline for responses and contact information for inquiries. This effort showcases GSA's commitment to enhancing travel logistics for federal employees by utilizing relevant, up-to-date airline information to foster competitive bidding during future Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

    The document provides a comprehensive list of flight pair connections within the United States, categorizing each as either Domestic (D) or International (I). Several cities are paired with their respective counterparts, indicating established routes for non-stop and single connection flights. It presents various domestic city pairs, signifying the frequency and accessibility of air travel across the country. Each entry is a vital component for understanding national air transportation dynamics and reflects the federal government's role in enhancing connectivity through RFPs or grants targeting aviation support. The data serves as a foundational element for analysis of airline operations, regulatory planning, and route development. This information is crucial for stakeholders seeking to improve or expand air service infrastructure, assess competition, and gauge regional accessibility to air travel, illustrating the importance of maintaining robust connections between metropolitan and rural areas alike.

    The document is a comprehensive list of domestic flight pairings, categorized by city codes, with the designation 'D' indicating domestic flights. Each listed entry represents a city pair available for travel, with a focus on nonstop flight options. While the document contains numerous air route options, it lacks specific details regarding the number of flights or additional service offerings, suggesting the primary intent is to inform stakeholders of available travel connections within domestic markets. This is particularly relevant for government entities evaluating flight accessibility for federal grants, RFPs, or local projects related to transportation infrastructure. The extensive list underscores the breadth of air travel options aimed at facilitating better connectivity among various regions, ensuring that travel logistics can be factored into broader planning and funding decisions within federal and local government frameworks.
