Sierra Pacific Airlines, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Tucson, Arizona, was awarded a delivery order valued at $31,300 for domestic charter air transportation services by the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command on October 3, 2017. The award, issued without socioeconomic set-aside designation, was completed by October 8, 2017, and performed in Killeen, Texas. This delivery order represents a firm-fixed-price task order issued under a larger indefinite delivery contract vehicle for comprehensive domestic charter airlift services, which enables Air Mobility Command to rapidly procure passenger and cargo transport, aeromedical evacuations, emergency response operations, and support for military training and contingency missions without conducting full and open competition for individual orders.
Sierra Pacific Airlines has maintained a substantial and ongoing contractual relationship with Air Mobility Command, demonstrating consistent capability to fulfill diverse aviation requirements across military installations and civilian airports nationwide. The company's federal contracting portfolio extends beyond Air Mobility Command work, including a $3.02 million Government-Wide Acquisition Contract with the U.S. Forest Service for national large jet transportation services supporting wildland firefighting and emergency response operations. This award reflects the contractor's established position as a responsive provider of critical, flexible air mobility services to the Department of Defense, leveraging its track record of successful performance on delivery orders ranging from approximately $7,000 to $288,000.
