SEE ATTACHED SOURCES SOUGHT Summary: The Government is considering a contract for Eareckson Air Station (EAS) security guards. EAS is located on the Aleutian Island of Shemya 1,500 miles from Anchorage, Alaska. Shemya is at the western most point in the Aleutian Island chain. It is approximately four miles long by two miles wide. EAS is a fully operational United States Air Force (USAF) Air Station encompassing all of Shemya Island.

EAS is accessible and resupplied by air and sea only. Sea barge access/resupply occurs May-September. EAS maritime polar weather ranges from 40 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer and averages 30 degree Fahrenheit during the winter. Year round EAS is affected by fog and wind.
