Category 4 - 4.a.4. The requirement asks for evidence of use of U.S.-Flag Vessels or use of U.S.-Flag Vessel Waiver. Would the U.S. Government accept evidence of use of a U.S.-Flag Air Carrier?

No, for Category 4.a.4. the USG is seeking Transportation plans invololving ocean transport and thus only evidence is specific to using of U.S. Flag Vessels, or Flag Vessel Waivers is acceptable as specified in Solicitation W519TC26RA036.
