Delta Air Lines, Inc. received a delivery order valued at $83,352 for domestic charter air transportation services from the Air Mobility Command (AMC), a defense agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. Awarded on January 4, 2016, with a completion date of January 6, 2016, this firm fixed-price delivery order was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery vehicle. The work is to be performed in Alexandria, Louisiana. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, consistent with Delta's status as a large commercial air carrier.
This delivery order represents one of numerous AMC awards to Delta Air Lines for charter airlift services supporting military mobility requirements. Delta's extensive federal contracting portfolio includes over 200 prime contract delivery orders for domestic and international air transportation, participation in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, and current indefinite delivery contracts with both AMC and the General Services Administration. The relatively short performance window for this particular delivery order reflects the flexible, rapid-response nature of charter airlift operations, whereby AMC issues task orders to augment its organic airlift capabilities and support contingency operations and personnel movement requirements.
