Delta Air Lines, Inc. was awarded a $175,227 firm fixed price delivery order for domestic charter air transportation services by the Air Mobility Command on October 27, 2016, with completion targeted for November 16, 2016. This delivery order was issued under the Domestic Charter Airlift Services 2014-2016 indefinite delivery contract vehicle and will be performed at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The award carries no small business set-aside designation, consistent with Delta's status as a large, established commercial carrier with extensive federal contracting experience across the Department of Defense.
As one of the nation's largest commercial airlines, Delta provides comprehensive air mobility support to the U.S. Air Force through its extensive domestic and international route network and sophisticated fleet. The Air Mobility Command utilizes such domestic charter services to augment its organic airlift capabilities for routine personnel and cargo transportation, training operations, and contingency requirements. Delta has demonstrated substantial performance under multiple Air Mobility Command vehicles, including a $145 million indefinite delivery contract for domestic and Civil Reserve Air Fleet charter services extending through September 2028, which has generated numerous delivery orders supporting the Air Force's flexible mobility requirements across the full spectrum of military transportation needs.
