Delta Air Lines, Inc. was awarded a $164,000 firm fixed-price delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services by the Air Mobility Command (AMC), a major component of the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract, awarded on February 19, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of March 6, 2015, was issued without a small business set-aside. This delivery order falls under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery vehicle, which supports AMC's core mission of providing flexible and rapid global airlift capabilities to meet U.S. military mobility requirements. The performance location for this engagement was Fort Moore, Georgia, a major military installation that serves as a hub for defense operations.
As a major global air carrier and established federal contractor, Delta Air Lines leverages its extensive domestic fleet and logistics infrastructure to support government transportation needs across the Department of Defense. Delta's substantial portfolio of federal contracts includes over 200 delivery orders for air transportation services, primarily benefiting AMC, as well as participation in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program for international charter operations. The company's selection for this delivery order reflects its capability to meet complex military airlift requirements and its longstanding relationship as a preferred carrier for federal agencies seeking reliable, commercial-scale air transportation services.
