The General Services Administration (GSA) has issued Solicitation No. 47QMCB26R0001, titled "FY27 Requirement for Scheduled Air Passenger Transportation Services," as part of its City Pair Program. This document, specifically Attachment 7, outlines vendor questions and references related to the solicitation. The program aims to secure scheduled air passenger transportation services for federal government employees for Fiscal Year 2027. This solicitation is a critical component of federal procurement, ensuring cost-effective and efficient travel solutions for government operations.
The General Services Administration (GSA) Center for Travel Management seeks to reinforce understanding and compliance with auto-cancellation rules for the City Pair Program (CPP) in Fiscal Year 2027. This includes both the 48-hour auto-cancellation rule for general fares and the 7-day auto-cancellation rule for Business Class and Premium Economy fares. The GSA's goal is to ensure online booking tools (OBTs) and Travel Management Companies (TMCs) provide timely traveler notifications to prevent unintended flight cancellations. Airlines are requested to provide detailed information and GDS screen captures of fare rule changes and Passenger Name Record (PNR) messaging formats. This will enable TMCs to automate notifications regarding potential cancellations, impending ticketing deadlines, and actual cancellations, minimizing manual processing and traveler inconvenience. The document outlines specific requirements for how these notifications should appear at various stages, from booking to cancellation, for different timeframes prior to departure.
