Specifically, Foreflight received a $27,611 contract (12/06/24–06/05/26) for Mobile Military Flight Bag licenses, Heavy Tail Dispatch, and Runway Analysis for USCG Gulfstream aircraft, and Jeppesen Foreflight received a $1,821 30-day bridge contract (06/05/26–06/17/26) for pilots’ MFB licenses plus Heavy Tail Dispatch and Runway Analysis at USCG Air Station Washington DC. The current requirement continues these exact license categories and aircraft support needs (C-37A/B & C-39A) with the same electronic delivery approach.
